New to the forum as a poster (though have visited for quite some time and learned so much from you all).

I’m trying to find either a gold BOR or gold brick bracelet for my stepdad’s 70s era Constellation and it’s proving somewhat difficult. Does anyone have any insight on model/no. or availability? Thanks to all and excited to be a member of the forum.

Note that the one I linked to is the earlier cal. 5XX C-case, but I believe that the bracelet will fit.

would this work? Not sure if the end pieces fit.

I am sure it will fit the 19mm lugs on your Constellation, but it is not an Omega item nor really like the original bracelet option.

I have no vested interest in the sale but in searching ebay for a period correct band for my own Connie I stumbled upon item number 193057627981. Alas, mine is steel and has 18mm lugs.

As @ConElPueblo has said the watch bracelet reference is 1040 the endlinks are 518. There is no differentiation in bracelets for Gold plated and stainless steel with the 1040. Here is one from Italy on eBay which looks to be in good condition (but finding the endlinks without the bracelet can be a little tricky). Item number 283747353994

Having a heck of a time trying to track down a 1040 w/ end links. If anyone has any good resources it would be much appreciated.

Well I have a NOS 1037, 1068 and a 1040 but no endlinks 🙁

Had to find used endlinks for them and expensive to order them at Omega...
