Hi guys and thanks for letting me onboard. I am trying to buy a link (or two) for my stainless f300 one bracelet. Snag is I don't know which one it needs, can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks in advance for everyone's time.

Best to post photos showing the end links numbers and the clasp numbers as well as the actual bracelet itself.

Also photos of the watch because there are different f300s. Ideally, if you know it, the number inside the caseback.

These were the only markings I could see on the bracelet but the additional pics show the shape which is tapered:

This is the worrying part, the taper:

2026-06-26 10.24.48.webp 2026-06-26 10.24.03.webp


Once again, thanks for all your help, I have tried to ask over on TZ-UK but honestly, the Lynch mob they got going over there just took the piss out of me. So I am just going to leave them destroy what was once a great forum.

Any 1125 link will do here as it doesn't taper at the removable link end of the bracelet. Some of the newer bracelets have a screw instead of a pin, not sure if that matters

No such luck, none to be found anywhere, some close, but no cigar as they say. I will maybe buy one of the cheap Chinese knockoffs and modify it to fit just so I can wear the watch and just keep on the lookout for a genuine thing.

Have you checked with an Omega Boutique or Omega's customer service? It wouldn't shock me if they still had links available.

Would you be able to share a photo of the front of the watch? It might be helpful to identify the reference number. I've looked at a lot of f300Hz watches (I own three), but I can't remember ever seeing one with a traditional case shape (i.e. not a tonneau case) that would take straight end links. Yet that's what it looks like from the back.

Well, I searched everywhere and now I emailed Omega UK. I found a couple places selling links including an outfit called Swiss Watch Spares but they were out of stock, I will just keep at it.

198.011 or 198.012, depending if it's date or day/date.

The case is the same on these, the ring for the integrated bracelet or 17 mm strap is interchangeable. The day/date it slightly thicker, but the bracelet ring is the same. And there is a crown at 4 version as well.

Thanks for posting those photos. I never knew how the integrated bracelet versions worked.

As a note to the OP (@Number36 Bus), although you don't have enough history to create a post in the Wanted to Buy section, possibly you can send a direct message to @MtV. I sold him a complete 1125 bracelet here on this forum just last December. If he did not use all the spare links, perhaps he would be willing to sell you any that were unused.

@sathomasga, thank you very much for your kind advice I shall do just that. Meanwhile @ketiljo my watch is identical to the one with the mesh bracelet and black dial above. I do have a genuine Omega mesh in 20mm complete with extension piece but that is on a Blancpain 50 fathom homage done by timefactors, one of Eddie Platts designs and I am not going to take it off because it looks great on that watch, I may photograph it and put a pic up, lovely thing it is.
