Hey! I recently bought this Omega seamaster cosmic 166.017-107 and i was woundering if a orignial bracelet is available. Ive been doing some reasearch but with limited success. New to this forum so excuse me if there is already a suitable thread. So basicly where to find, if possible and what is a reasonable price? Thanks
I think they came with various options - a beads of rice (probably 1068), the 1035, or the 1125. Prices vary from $150 to $1500+
I had a similar cosmic which had 1171 bracelet on it with some end links I don't have any more nor do I remember the numbers. But the bracelet was 1171 for sure.
like in many cases and especially back in the day when things like bracelets and boxes were not controlled as hard as they are today by Omega the same model could come out on various bracelets at various dealers/markets. Just think of the Holzer bracelets
As above - they can go on a standard 9-row beads of rice bracelet, but you might have difficulty finding end links to fit. I think 528 links are the right ones. Nice-looking watch btw.
Are you sure an 1171 fits this type of Cosmic? The 1171 are generally for 20mm lugs and I'm pretty sure this ref has 18/19mm lugs and therefore uses the narrower 1125.
I recently bought a Cosmic (case) on a 1067 flatlink bracelet with 507 Endlinks And it was also delivered on a 1068 BOR bracelet And an other Cosmic case (165 / 166.022) came on a 3011 bracelet and also a 1040 bracelet
1037, 1068 and 8270 are all basically the same 9-row BOR and would all fit this watch with the right links. Those IMO are the most likely bracelets to have been supplied with this watch at the time.
Okey so thats what ill be looking for. Thanks im really pleased with this one, my first omega aswell. Although hard to justify the watch because of my awful photos. Thanks for the helpful advice!
that looks really nice, but where do u find theese badboys? i really crave a BoR for mine but ebay seemed super overpriced... nice patina aswell, acording to me
Depends what you're looking for. You can normally find a reasonably priced BoR within a few weeks on eBay. If you want something immediately you'll often have to pay a slight premium.
No way do you have to pay anything remotely near that! A quarter of that price or less when I last looked.
