I have a thing for yellow gold braclets on yellow gold watches. I had tentatively planned to get a 166.010 with a matching gold bracelet, and might still, but maybe I don't need to? Sharp viewers will note this is a 2627 case. I also have a KO 2627 still with the watchmaker... and another bracelet much the same to put on it! I saw an old Omega ad somewhere that had this kind of bracelet on a similar watch. Great combination.
I do have a mild interest in an Omega LED but what I can find is selling for crazy money and they're crap to boot. An LCD Speedmaster is on eBay now for more than $1500. Good f'in' luck, I'm not paying that much.
Where do you guys search for these bracelets? I cannot beleave they are popular with the main crowd, but when I look even for an unbranded 18ct gold 18/19mm bracelet the sellers charge the gold price plus 1000extra for the bracelet. I mean a 1116 is wanted and people search for it and can be had fro around 450-750, so why the crazy add on? And I see all these fake, ehh aftermarket, steel omega BOR for cheap. Are there no new solid gold producers? maybe more than I thought people are looking for a solid gold band on their solid gold vintage omega or any other vintage watch??
