Hi guys,

I'm picking up an Omega 1040 bracelet for a constellation. My question is whether or not these are widely counterfeited at all, and how this particular bracelet fits in with what we know. This bracelet looks fine to my eye, the thing that stood out was that the end links were not numbered, the seller confirmed this. I was under the impression all bracelet end links were numbered. Would appreciate any input and guidance.

 

Bracelet looks fine, but those aren't Omega end links.

If this is going on a C-case you need 518 ends.

 

I purchased some 518 end links from Cousins a year or so ago. They fit fine but are slightly different (from the vintage ones) where they meet the back of the watch.

 

Hey Guys! I’m curious, are the end links from back in the day also numbered 518? It seems to be the consensus that modern 518 ends don’t do the best job attaching a 1040 bracelet to a C-Case Connie. What say you?

 

What about these “18”end link on a Connie with a 1040 bracelet?

 

Very interesting. Maybe it's like the 16/516 thing referring to the Speedies?
