There was a guy who detailed how he made some for a 1039. I don't think there's any source out there otherwise and I don't think he was making them for sale. The other option is to find some used ones that are in good enough condition. Even though my 1039 is full length and very tight, I'd like to find one more link to make it a little easier to out on.

Would be interesting to see this was it a forum post on here ? I’m not in any rush really just slowing going though watch’s in my collection that needs a little work and get them to a condition that I’m happy with , tbf this is very tight even with the broken springs but I’m not currently wearing it I suppose I’d have to look at getting some spare links also Surely just the smaller links would be easier to source then the larger double ones I’ve not really looked into seeing if you and split them to add more but I’m sure it’s possible?

Tho I don’t like the idea of maybe prying apart the bracelet to add more smaller links if that the only way

Pretty sure those are actually still available. 1039 are all aftermarket but these double ones for the 7077 were still avaialable as of a year or two ago.

It’s not got a reference number on it . would this be the only model as a double link flat link bracelet they produced?

1039 links are not all aftermarket - sorry, but is not a correct determination

generelly the bracelet condition is not good

so i would think about a complete overhaul - otherwise i would not wear it

The springs, not the links. You can still get the springs for the double wide links for the OPs bracelet from Omega. You can’t get 1039 springs from Omega anymore.

There are a few threads on the forum that have the part numbers for the springs and a bit of explanation of how to install them. Search 7077 bracelet and you’ll get more info.

Edit: in fact I think I see the part number in one of the thread titles pictured
