Is this the correct bracelet? Hello all! Hope everyone is healthy. What’s up, @DIV? Firstly, I apologize that I’m not as present on this forum as most of you, especially those of you from I’m asking assistance. Still consider myself a novice and allowing these lazy days to infiltrate all aspects of my life, even loving watches! That being said, I’ve tried to scour the web and look for pics, videos and other forums to answer my query. Hope I can get a little help. The Omega in question I believe is a (VG) 1968-70, Geneve ref 166.041, possibly a cal 565, blue dial, orange seconds hand, and no other info. I contacted the owner and he knows less than me. He doesn’t even feel comfortable unscrewing the case back. Also I asked for better photos, but due to the “stay at home”, he is on his “farm” and the piece is “in town” at his place of work. I don’t wanna push it with the Covid-19 stuff. If he wants to stay home, away from work, I understand. Is this the correct bracelet, if this Omega even comes on a bracelet? I know, bad photos, no extra information from the seller, and I’m not 100% sure on the movement caliber, or the bracelet/end links numbers. Hopefully the OF experts will know! Thank you all in advance!! Sorry for any mistakes or errors in my grammar or info.
Even with the poor photos, I'm virtually certain that neither the bracelet nor the end-links are original to that watch. However, it is probably an authentic Omega bracelet and could have some value. You'd really need to find out the bracelet reference and end-links (which I can't quite read). Edit: 564 maybe? No, that's not right.
Holy crap, I think I figured it out. I believe the bracelet is a 1118 with 582 end-links. I may have to retract my previous post, it could actually be correct.
The watch is a 136.041 or 166.041 (as you suggested). I'm not sure of the difference. Sorry for all the posts and corrections, I shouldn't have been so hasty originally.
Thank you Dan S. I was looking on Otto Frei website and couldn’t figure. Mostly because of the crappy photos I provided. I’m pretty sure the ref 166.041 is correct, due to the cal 564 or 565 auto inside. The 166.041 is roomier (for an auto) than the 136.041 (usually for the slimmer hand winds). Thanks again
Oops! Just to add, the seller photos all covered up the bracelet number, 1118/582, as Dan S suggested
Again, just to give @Dan S credit, officially, Thank you for the time and effort!!! This is why I come here.
Hey Morrisbeef....sorry I was late to the party. Looks like Dan S got you squared away! Good luck on the hunt
