Hello All,
I have an Omega Beads or Rice Bracelet that has a broken clasp.
Does anyone have any parts for this?
I'll send some photos.
Thanks in advance, greetings, Robert.View attachment 1364553 View attachment 1364554 View attachment 1364553 View attachment 1364554

You likely won't find this clasp for sale on its own, as this is a rarer BOR variant. With the cost of these, you are better to buy another bracelet.

If you want this, you can have it for whatever the consensus on this thread is that the members think it's worth. Those with over a thousand posts, that is. 😀 It's stamped 1502.

I think he`s from Germany guessing from his name and you said the one forbidden word -expensive- so he was out of the door 😁

ok, but the one from the picture is not the same as mine... I'm looking for exactly the same clasp.

Of course you are and I can't blame you for that. Rarest of them all, alas.

I have also seen them made for zodiac, Longines/Wittnauer and a host of others. The zodiac one I have is stamped JB Champion inside so I assume they made them for several companies.

Normally I would say try to track down a parts bracelet from another brands and swap the parts you need, but these are not cheap with any brand marked on the clasp. But you may get lucky if you search for a while. Persistence and patience always pays off

Thanks, that's a useful tip and I'll definitely look for those brands as well.
I have the time and for now I wear it with a homemade hook.

That is almost certainly made by Jacoby-Bender.

JB in the triangle is the JB Champion logo.

Jacoby Bender made a few Omega bracelets, the 1096 from the SM120 comes to mind. As does the bricks bracelet from the C-cased Connie. Of course I can’t confirm this, but if you lay the Omega version next to the JBC version, they are identical sans the clasp. And parts (links and clasps) swap from one to the other.

I can confirm this for the 5-row BOR. They both even use the spring-bars in the removable links.
