    Yes. That's true. There are different variants of the bezel. But I'm done with the 120. And yes, I'm letting the last one go. Maybe also the first 166.027.

    By the way, I would like to thank Gemini4 for the info. It was essential for me before buying my 120's. I forgot to say this yesterday. Again, great help!!

    Avoid confusion with another Seamaster 120 diver - ref.166.073 Cal.565 (I am joking !)

    Do you have a proof that 1036 bracelet was fitted to that watch?

    I know that 1067/532 was the first, and then 1069/524, 1098/547 and 1172/570 but never heard about any BOR 1036/517

    the end link is 026 ST 571 [19mm] designed to fit the 19mm lugs for Seamsters and Connie ... @ the time according to Omega ... so I really do not know ... this is Omega itself who shared this with me.... as I requested I would like to have 19mm end links fitted to my 18mm BOR

    PROOF ??/? ... .... all BOR bracelets were offered as AFTER MARKET UPGRADE to all omega watches at the time ... it was a means for the OMEGA store to UPSALE .... where a customer bought their watch ... so a BOR would be and can be fitted as per customers request

    as in the case of the 120 'SKIN DIVER " town, country and sea model ... it came mounted on a leather band ... and the customer was given the option to upgrade the watch band at the store ....

    Divers have a little more than 30m WR and a rotating bezel.
    Your watch is the first "diver" I see "upgraded" with a BOR, that's why I was asking.
    I've got the answer, thanks, that watch was not originally sold on that bracelet.

    Do you have any proofs that this is fake?

    In the other thread you created about fake SM120, none of the watches you posted was fake.
