Hi!
I’m looking to buy 2 silver 540 end links for my vintage Omega seamaster 166.032
Been looking everywhere online and can’t find any.
In short, want-to-buy thread must be posted in the correct forum, and only after you have 200 substantial posts as a member.
It will be much easier and perhaps not much more expensive to simply buy a 1098 with 540’s. They don’t come up for sale that often.
They don’t come up for sale often and are generally valuable because they fit a few popular models.
1118 is an 18mm bracelet. You technically need a 1098, which is a 19mm bracelet.
The 526 endlinks “fit” but fit poorly and go over and scratch the caseback.
Pretty sure you can still buy service 540 end links direct from Omega. I would contact your local OB or AD that’s also an authorized servicer to see if they are available to order.
FWIW I have a 166.028, same case design size, and the 1098/540 bracelet/end link combo just suits this watch case design so much better. Having owned a 1118 as well and IMHO the 1118 looks a bit small when paired with the 19mm end links.

Agree. I’d just sell the 1118 and look for a 1098/540
Can’t for 1098/540 for sale anywhere. 🙁

They come up fairly frequently. I’ve needed a couple over the years and never had to wait long.
I called my local Omega dealer earlier and they don’t provide it
I was looking for a single 540 a while ago and although my AD was able to sel me 640’s on another occasion, I was told they can’t get 540’s.
I’m just a bigger fan of the jubilee style of the 1118. can I see a photo of your watch with the 1098?
