    I'm looking for help in identifying and purchasing the correct Beads of Rice bracelet for this watch, a 1967 Omega "Pie Pan" Constellation with a 551 movement. The lug width is 18mm and the case number is 167.005. I have tried the internet for a few days without any luck. Thank you

    Beautiful watch!

    I love the non-date models.

    Nice watch, but not sure if the Connie was every sold with the BOR bracelet as the end pieces won't match the curvature of the lugs.

    5 link used with the thick lug models and 7 link for use on De Ville styled cases

    They were always add-on options for the Constellation:

    The dealer just needed to get the correct end pieces for a particular model and put it all together for you.

    I'm sure there are end pieces for connie models in similar Seamaster or De Ville type cases, but are there ones for the dog leg type lugs as in OP's image?

    Any ad's showing if that model was offered with a BOR bracelet?

    Google search brought up watches with incorrect end pieces and just didn't look that nice.

    So to do an internet search that will lead to a purchase, I needed to know the correct part number of the end link and the part number of the corresponding bracelet.
    Maybe I'm dense and don't get where we are at in this conversation, even after reading the PDF. Thats highly likely!

    I'm told this is a 1037/570 thru a person with a language barrier...does that sound right?

    1037/570 and 12/570 should both work. I have one of each on mine.

    These look great on a 7912 bracelet with #4 end links too if you're so inclined, more expensive but the end links are easy to get.

    Thanks CanberraOmega and gatorcpa

    Have to be honest, but bracelet just doesn't look that great on the dog leg lugs. Just looks like a miss match

    I restored a few of the pie pan dog leg models and always sold them with a nice gator patterned strap becaused they just seemed dressier than other models

    My apparently feeble attempts at searching have failed to locate a source for the 12/570 end links. If someone could point me to a source I'd appreciate it.
    thanks
