Does anyone know if this bracelet on this 166.5032 is removable or fused onto the watch?
Hard to tell from the photo.

Also is it odd that it doesn't have seamaster on the case back?
I remember reading somewhere that these might be special items from omega where you bought this version without seamaster on the case back so it could be engraved with a name or similar....but can't find anywhere online with that info anymore. Does anyone else know please?

Thanks

How are these usually adjusted for wrist size?
It doesn't look adjustable at all?

Yes it is fused and no it is not adjustable, well there are 2 or 3 settings in the clasp about 5mm apart but that is your lot. If it doesn't fit you it's a problem. Making it smaller is a job for a professional goldsmith. Making it bigger is possible but expensive and a job for STS who have the tooling to add the right mesh in. The plain back was indeed probably special order for inscription purposes, it is seen quite a lot on domestic production pieces.

With these welded on Milanese bracelets, in general, if it doesn't fit, don't buy it.

Is the watch already your´s? If yes would you like to wear it on a strap?
The bracelet could be removed and the watch head could be used on a strap because the case has lugs. Many watches with integrated bracelets don´t have lugs so they could be only used as paperweights without the bracelet 😉

Looking to buy but didn't want the faff of an attached integrated bracelet
