Just bought this 1965 321 Chronograph- A few questions

jokrakow · Aug 16, 2015

Hi All,

I just bought this, my first vintage Omega and am wondering what the forum thinks about the price and watch. Also, I'm looking to find an original bracelet but not sure how to go about that. Any input appreciated!

Thanks,

Beads of rice bracelet would be appropriate, do keep in mind these square pushers have zero water resistance / dust proofing, that's why there's that bubbling and staining on the dial

Thanks- I've always thought it was a beautiful watch so went ahead and bought it. Not sure if the price was great but I didn't find many of that model for sale. I have a NATO strap on it for now but would like to have the original bracelet if possible.

You did ok. I like how clean the 321 movement is. The dial can be better, but these snap backs with rectangle pushers are always weak against moisture and water.

Bracelet wise, the right one would be beads of rice OR the flat bracelet that resembles the ref. 7077 bracelets. Thats how many 7077 bracelet ended up being marketed for the 2998, 2914, 2915 and 2913 WITHOUT the end pieces. But bear in mind, these 7077 bracelets have a smaller width at the bracelet ends.

Thanks a lot for the helpful advice. Should I be trying to match the exact year with the bracelet or is the same model "enough"?

I'll start my search..
