Hi,

Does anyone here sell their beads of rice bracelet ref. 1068 or know how to spot a fake one on Ebay? I see them popping up sometimes, but I don't want to buy an aftermarket or a fake one.

It's for an Omega constellation from around '65 - '75 I believe.

I have to have 200 posts before I can ask advice from where to buy a bracelet?

Sounds like a WTB don't it? There are dozens of threads on 1068 bracelets so read them first

It doesn’t need to be a 1068. The 1503 and 1037 bracelets are identical and all 3 are correct for your watch.
You have two options:
1. Buy the Endlinks separate, either from an Omega boutique or another source. Then buy a beads of rice without Endlinks and pair them up.
This is the easiest solution.

2. Try to find a vintage beads of rice with 555’s. These do come up for sale, but not too often and if they’re a reasonable price they’ll sell quick
