Hey, everyone! I have been looking at vintage omegas for about a month and came upon a 166.067 that I liked! Unfortunately, I didn’t check the photos well enough and it doesn’t have the stock bracelet. Currently, I am looking for the 1037/614 bracelet if anyone has any leads. I am also hoping to learn a good lesson on this purchase as this is my first vintage / “nice” watch. Here is the original posting. I have photos of the movement as well that look to be decent. Is the rust/patina on the second hand worth being worried about / should I get a shop to clean or replace? Does the sparkly dial add any value as opposed to being another dial? Thank you for your time!

I would recommend you keep an eye out for the accessories section. Could get lucky there!

A 1037 bracelet is easy, the end links will be your challenge, so start hunting for those and buy them when you find them. Honestly, even if you just find one ... buy it.
