Any help appreciated Is there a ref for the bracelet and links I would need for an appropriate match?
Is B o R correct for this?

18mm lug width? If you want period correct vintage, a No.12/1037 with 70 or 570 end links should work. They pop up for sale on eBay (beware of fakes) and on OF from time to time. There may be other vintage options as well. I believe that Omega makes a modern BOR bracelet that may fit, but I can't remember the bracelet reference or the correct end links.

As to the modern Omega bracelet I may go there if I really have to, but am still smarting from the cost of the bracelet on my midsize 2004 seamaster auto, and over 2 yrs have passed!

I suggest you also ask @No Mercy . I got my 8270 with 570 end links from him at a fair price and no concerns about quality.

I was a little anxious about that. What are the telltales ?

On the inner side the ends of the links should be beveled like here

the ebay ones are straight



The "1037" also looks off

I have never seen a 60s BOR for dress watches with this:

I think it is not obvious it's a fake. Remember these things change over the years. For example, I've seen three different versions of 633 end links.

I used to have a very similar watch to what you posted. I'm about 90% certain that the BOR bracelet came from @No Mercy too.

Just my personal point of view, you may well be right... Seller seems to offer authentic stuff...

On the other hand the features I pointed out are strange...

Tbh I bought a seamaster deville and snagged the BOR from it for my pie pan. Best way to go about it lol, cheapest too. 570 endlinks no.12 bracelet. Fits nicely, good luck!
