Hi Everyone

I’ve had this Connie (168.029 I believe)for a few years now and wanted to put it on a brick bracelet. I found a gentleman locally who had some “NOS Stelux” bracelets that seemed to work….except for the end links of course. I tried modifying the ones that came but that was a bad idea and I don’t want to completely ruin the end links until I find replacements.

Where can I source correct endlink? What would you folks do in this situation? What’s the deal with these Omega stamped Stelux bracelets?

All the best

Carlos

That is not correct brick bracelet for C case
You are looking for 1040 bracelet with either 518 endlinks or 593 endlinks.
Couple examples

Thank you for the info SOG53. Those are very nice examples!

If I wanted to try to make this stelux bracelet work where would I source the correct end links?does anyone have measurements of the 518 and 593 end links?

I wasn’t able to find a 1040 bracelet at a reasonable price, that is why I ended up purchasing the stelux.

Stelux made nice bracelets for Seiko I am unaware that they made for Omega. Whether the Omega endlinks will work with your Stelux is hit or miss if you can find set of 518 or 593 and it works then great but it’s iffy.
I think the Omega logo clasp was added to bracelet.
Set up saved search on EB and look here on watch parts and accessories the 1040 comes up as do endlinks.
OF member @No Mercy often has various bracelets and endlinks FS
