Bracelet options for Seamaster 166.010

DIV · Jul 15, 2018

I have a nice 166.010 and would like to put it on an oyster-style steel bracelet complete with well-fitting end links.
I know that the beads of rice bracelet is the normal pairing, but was looking for a less-dressy option.

Can anyone point me in the direction of any after-market (generic) bracelets?

After checking around, I ended up buying this generic oyster bracelet ($20 on Amazon from Exact Timing) which worked great after pinching the end pieces a little.

My only complaint is that it looked too much like a Datejust.
I ended up putting it right back on the strap. I find that like many vintage Omegas, a strap emphasizes the attractive case features better.

I love the bold lugs, the wide bezel, crosshairs dial, the dauphine hands and the onyx-adorned markers. It's a shame they didn't keep this model around longer. A slightly bigger version would be nice.

The endpieces on that oyster bracelet do not look like they are sitting on very well despite your "pinching" 😀 Looks great on that leather strap!

Thank you!....and that is correct...the curve of the lugs are flatter... I didn't feel like re-contouring the endpieces, it was a "close-enough" kind of thing...

Nice watch! Mine says hi!

Would be nice to identify 18mm end links to be able to use the 1069 or 1098 bracelets from the 19mm day date model 😉
