Hi
I am looking to buy a stainless-steel Beads of Rice armband for my Omega Constellation. After many hours of research on end link types and armband reference numbers I am more confused that when I started! I thought I would ask the question here instead.

Year: 1960
Ref: 1439361SC
Serial: 1772XXXX
Lug width: 18mm

Which armband and end link combinations will work together with this watch?

Thanks!

 

I will wait for others to chime in, but I think that a no. 3010 bracelet with no. 12 end links will work.

 

5-row BOR, period correct references were 1036 and 8220. #11 or #12 endlinks should work. I find #12s fit a little better but #11s are more versatile as they fit beefy lug Seamasters better than #12s IMO.

 

Much appreciated, thanks!

 

Forgot to add - 1502 was also a reference used for these.

 

Will #70 or #517 end links also work?

 

Those are endlinks for a 7-row BOR.. so no. You could use a 7-row BOR instead of a 5-row, but it doesn’t look as good on these IMO.

 

Also, I’m not sure what #517s are. 70s and 570s are for 7-row BORs. There are also 511s and 512s that would work for a 5-row - they’re the same as 11s and 12s.

 

3010 is indeed the current 5-row bracelet and the end links are 511 or 512.
