Hey all,

picked up some nice Omega’s recently

36mm bumper ref 2657, 18mm lugs
35mm auto ref 2975, 18mm lugs

I’d like to put a nice aftermarket bracelet on each but not sure on options or endlinks that would work or even originals, anyone have advice on what they did similar?

thanks in advance

I think that an Omega beads of rice bracelet with #11 end-links would fit the 14710. I don't know about the 2657.

IMHO, the one on the left is a 2975 Seamaster from 1958 with cal. 500.

Very nice looking watches! 😀
Its hard to find endlinks fitting the long lugs of these jumbo bumpers, the 34mm model is easier to fit.
But I would try to source a beads of rice or oyster with curved ends, straight ends also looks good and is more of a safebet to know they actually will fit.

(some examples)

I don't know any particular brand, most vintage bracelets are often unbranded.
Source ebay etc and you will find something, if you are going for curved ends make sure they are pretty deep since the jumbo Seamaster have long lugs!
