Hi, I have been researching about this bracelet that I took from a Constellation 168.029, but really haven’t found the reference number. I have seen some other bracelets that look like it (1171, 1175) but I don’t know how to differentiate between one or another or if it’s one of those. It has a number 12 mark but I have seen it in some other bracelets, it also has like a number 10 on the other side but it is kind of blurry. The pins on the links are spring ones and I never seen them before. How can I find out the reference number. Thanks for any help you can get me.

My experience with these No 12s is that they're typically considered 1175s (I've had 2, neither marked more than No 12, one of which was the JB Champion version). I'm not at all an expert but I've seen examples of those bracelets that have more rounded and more squared-off flat-links. You can tell more clearly by taking a picture of the bracelet's side, but in this case, too, the Omega symbol on the clasp is the 1175 version, to my knowledge (would love correction by one of the experts here if that's not the case).

Thanks for the information. This is a picture from the side. The links seem a little on the oval side.

"No 12" refers to the clasp, not the bracelet.

168.0029 is specified by Omeha to take a 1040/518, so the official list is of no help, I'm afraid. I too would think it's an 117-something.

Those holes in the side are for the removable links. They actually contain small spring bars!

Yes, the removable links attach to each other with small spring bars.
