Hi,
I am a happy owner of a 166.010 Omega reference. The watch is in a good state except for the bracelet which feels the years.
I'd like to buy a compatible (and as similar as possible) bracelet but I'm having a rough time finding one. The original one I would keep safe in the drawer and use the compatible one, except for special occasions.

As I see there are only two options:
1) Aliexpress or similar: they sell cheap bracelets but it is hard to know compatibility before buying. Furthermore quality is generally low (of course price is low as well). I bought one which did not fit and already wasted 20 USD. This would be a trial and error process...
2) Buy a spare original one (for about 250 USD) which is quite expensive.

Is there a 3rd option like Uncle Seiko or Strap Code modern bracelet that can fit this reference? If with full end links (not hollow) even better although it is not necessary.

Thank you

1036 with endlink 11 or 511. An omega bracelet in good shape could be found easily under 200usd

I would also vote for an authentic vintage BoR (1036, 1502, etc.), at least that's what I would prefer.

I think you guys convinced me to save and buy an original one... the picture shared by Dan S was especially convincing😉
