·A year ago I bought a vintage Seamaster 166.028 from a seller in Mexico, the watch looked rough but it seemed to have a 1175, so I jumped on the opportunity to get one a little below market. I had been on the hunt for one with 48 endlinks to put on my 168.022. Well, the pictures were absolutely awful, so I shouldn't have been too surprised to find out it wasn't a 1175.
Rather, it seems to be a Holzer-made flatlink that measures 22mm across the widest link. The endlinks seem to be unstamped 47 endlinks (?) that have been filed down to fit a 19mm lug width 🙁. However, the whole bracelet is a mystery. It doesn't seem like a franken and I came across another similar one posted here.
I'm curious if anybody has any thoughts about what I have and what it would/should have been put on. Did Omega themselves ever make a 22mm flatlink bracelet? Could this have also been a speedmaster bracelet?
Thank you for any and all thoughts!
