Hi!
Greetings from Sweden.
I’m new to the forum and vintage watches, need your help to identify my first Omega Seamaster. It was a gift from my parents on my 30th birthday. All i know is that its a manual wind and that the lug width is 18mm. The watch has been serviced 1 year ago.

Im also interested getting a BoR bracelet, and need help with what size to get regarding end links and model no.

Thanks!

/ Andreas

Hi Andreas,

nice watch and welcome here on OF!

IMO an early 60 ies (No "T" on the dial) manual wind, could be cal. 61X

Crown is wrong, otherwise it looks very good.

7 Row BOR with 70 end links should look good on this watch, see this one for comparison (taken from an older sales ad)

https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-bor-1037-bracelet-with-70-end-links.73680/

Thanks for the quick response and info!

Do you think this would work? If i find the correct 70 end-links to swap with. Or should I wait and try to get a hold of a BoR with 70 end-links already attached?

It seems like the market’s not flooded with these accessories unfortunately.

Kind regards

Andreas,

I think it will fit but I do not own this combination myself.

Take a look at this sales listing from an established member here:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/lat...racelet-ref-166-020-mint-dial-serviced.72519/

When buying vintage watches and parts, I think its better if you bring some patience with you.

Those bracelets are not very rare so with some patience I think you will find one.

Also check the Private Sales section for watch parts

EDIT: The one on ebay you posted looks OK. It has 570 end links which are later ones but if you don't mind that the offer is seems well priced.

EDIT: Seller says 17mm end links so wait!

570 end links are the same as 70s, just numbered differently for some reason. This BOR ought to fit your watch. FYI it is not easy to find either 70s or 570s on their own.

Hi!
Ok that’s a bit confusing.
So can 570 and 70 end-links have different measurements? On the eBay one i posted it says 17mm, and on the forum here i’ve only seen 18mm..

Because Omega cases and bracelets for the US market in the 50s and 60s used US-standard measurements in inches, not millimeters. 11/16" is 17.4625mm, which will fit inside 18mm lugs but there will be a gap.
