Hi OF

Just curious if the facets of this Connie checks out. It looks very mint. Been trying to compare to images available on the forum and on the web and I can't seem to find one with this variation of bracelet - is it original?

As always, I appreciate your time in advance.

Looks like a nice example of a 1970s Connie, with a 10xx calibre inside - maybe a 168.0056. I can’t comment on the bracelet's authenticity with this model. I know that a brick style bracelet was an option on earlier Connies and that many were shipped with leather straps. This beads of rice bracelet looks nice, though!

EDIT - sorry, just saw you’d already posted the reference in the title... ::facepalm1::

You don´t happen to know where to find a correct crystal for these? Unfortunately mine looks like this (pic from the auction house):

No judgement passed here. As you can see from my profile, I have only contributed a handful of posts, and I have no doubt I will commit a worse sin!

Cheers for the input.

Cheers Shabbaz, just to confirm it does not appear to be an original bracelet for the Connie right? The bracelet in the picture being a 1037.

Incidentally, where have you sourced your above image? Tremendously useful.

Thanks for your post mate.

You can ask @Archer. I get mine from a watchmaker in the Netherlands with a Omega account.

In the past I've bought from otto frei as well.

Thanks, and sorry for sneaking in this thread. I´ll ask Archer, I don´t have a clue which one of the crystals on Ofrei is for my model 😜
