Hi everyone,

first time posting here sorry if I make any mistakes. I purchased a vintage quartz Omega a year ago at a watch fair in Glashütte (yes, that one) and I've loved wearing it so far. The watch also came with a bracelet, a 1162/172 as pictured. I ignored the bracelet for a while since it didn't have enough links for my 7.8 inch wrists. Today I got curious about the dark red logo though, since it reminded me of the red omega logo the Electric line tuning fork watches had. However I couldn't find any reference to a bracelet with a red logo on the interent. Was this an aftermarket job or some other curiousity? The lacquer seems to be well applied and fairly old. Please help me get more information on the bracelet, it would be greatly appreciated.
I thank all of you in advance and wish you a great day.

The bracelet looks real but I think someone has coloured the logo red. I’ve seen sealed examples of the bracelet - no red logo. It also looks like the paint is very non uniform.

Thank you for your reply. I wanted to make sure I know exactly what this is and wether to try to remove the red lacquer before potentially selling it. Either that or get some spare links. But those would probably be fairly expensive right?

there's some on ebay - $80 per link. too expensive. but if you need one link it might be a good solution. I have also seen clasp extenders (make the clasp bigger) which could solve your problem cheaply.

To remove it you would remove the clasp and then soak it in something (to soften the lacquer). Alcohol might do it.
