Any chance you have one 120, a set of 120's, or a set of 653's? I'm looking to get sorted a "no 12" bracelet for a 176.007.

Thanks!

Hi, I don't, but 653 were still available from Omega last year... ask before they run out of stock...

Nah, I already asked 😉

Are you absolutely certain? I (and many others) have been looking for these for years, as these are the only two types that go on the 176.007. In fact, when I sent mine for service to Omega (... 🤦 ) some fifteen years ago, they were no longer available and straight end links were fitted. One would think that of Omega still had them (or recently discovered a box like yours) they wouldn't be so difficult to procure.

Hahaha -- sorry about that, I totally missed your message in the thread (or perhaps I subliminally ignored it hoping to be first in line.) The search continues!

No, I think I ordered a pair for my 145.029, but I'm not 100% sure (I don't know where else they would come from).. I already had a pair on my 176.007.
I don't know if Omega did produce new batches of endlinks last year, but prices has gone from CHF20 a pair to CHF70..

If you had any way to figure out where you bought them or how to get them -- I, and a ton of other 176.007 owners, would be immensely grateful!

Can you confirm that the 16 endlinks are 20 mm? I have number 16 on a 19 mm Speedmaster which indicates that mine are adjusted in some way.

I think that adjustment was done using a file.................

Hi. Any chance you have an earlier 70 set? I have my late father's 1962 Seamaster De Ville and the BOR bracelet I purchased came with 609 end links. They are too high for the watch.

Wow... what a great find, unbelievable 👍

I wish my father in law was a watch (part) hoarder 😀

Hi everyone, my 575 end links are 19mm wide. Shouldn't these be 20mm? Have they been sanded?
They was planed for a 145.012...🙁

Don’t forget US links from the 50s and 60s are sized by fractions of an inch.

Okay, I didn't know that. But the 575s should have 20mm on the left and not 19mm. Correct? On my speedy the link has too much left and right play.
