Hi folks, this is my first post here on Omega Forums but I am pretty active on other forums. I picked up a beautiful And relatively rare Omega 168.0065 in excellent shape from an esteemed member here and I’m stuck on whether to keep the watch or sell it. Part of the reason why I am contemplating selling it is because I realized that as much as I try to like wearing watches on straps, I am just a bracelet guy at the end of the day.

I know that the 168.0065 was never sold with a bracelet but was wondering if others know whether any Omega BOR bracelet or other bracelets would fit as long as the lug width (18mm) is correct. Would appreciate it some of the more knowledgeable members share specific endlink reference numbers so I can hunt down a fitting bracelet. Thanks all!

Online you find some 168.0065 with a 1193 bracelet with 672 endlinks...

You forgot a pic of your watch 😉

Haha. I’m such a noob using the Omega Forums interface. Here is this beautiful watch in all its glory! Thanks for the tip on the endlinks.

1502/11. Not intended for the 168.0065, but it does work. Matter of taste if you’re fine with the different shaped lugs / end links.

I would suggest a 1037 / 70. I haven’t tried it on this exact reference but it fits other dog leg Connies so I’d expect it to fit.

Thanks! Is that a BoR bracelet? Doesn’t look too shabby!

I’ve tried (it was the obvious choice, you named the reason) and it didn’t work, the 168.0065 are slightly differently shaped. Don’t take my word for it and the OP might want to try himself, just to make sure.

@wl039097 Yes, 1502/11 is a regular 5-row BoR, possibly the most common.

And the “70” is the end link reference, 1037 the bracelet.
