Omega 1069/137 ends info needed...

Raymondo5508 · Apr 14, 2022

Hi,
I recently bought an Omega Seamaster textured dial rolled gold 2577-18 from 1952. It came with this bracelet 1069/137 ends.
My question is, would this originally came with this particular band or is this a later bracelet? The watch is at my watchmaker at the moment so no pictures as yet.
If so what Omega model would this be used on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Russell

That bracelet is not contemporary to an early 50’s watch. It dates late 60’s/70’s.

A quick google suggests this is for a Cosmic.

Because of their Milanese/loop like nature these kind of bracelets go on any watch, so if you're going to sell, they are easy to sell - it might not be correct but it's better than nothing

However you have to measure the endlinks and compare it to original length, sometimes people file down endlinks, and if you sell without checking, it might make someone very unhappy

Good catch! honestly looks like it might be the case with this one.

I echo what @Davidt said. This likely would have been sold with a Seamaster cosmic...something like a Ref. 166.035. It should have 19mm endlinks and it may have been filed down as @kaplan suggested.

Many thanks for all your help and information
regarding the band. I didn't think it was from the same period as the watch itself.

Not everybody gets the alerts regarding new responses to a thread. I'd drop him a PM if I were you.

I recently bought a 1069/524 SS for a Seamaster Chrono 145.018. It had filed down endlinks which was disclosed by seller. I bought it figuring I could find 524 endlinks. I looked to no avail and was about to give up when i was told Omega still makes some endlinks for vintage bracelets. Sure enough they do, cost $48 each and took few weeks to arrive at OB. If I find vintage in the future I may be tempted but for now quite happy.
