Hi all-

New here. Just a quick question:

I’m looking for 650 end links for a 166.088 and cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone know if similar numbered links can be machined to fit a specific watch, or have any experience doing this through a jeweler? Or can jewelers manufacture end links?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Did you contact Omega?
I didn’t. I’ve only looking for a vintage pair until now. Do they still sell all link styles?

No, but they stilll sell some, so it's worth asking.

Keep us updated please
I will for sure. I contacted a site called Swisswatchspares because he had 650 links available, but am waiting to hear what he can offer. If it doesn't pan out, I'll try omega directly.

Be aware his prices are a lot higher than Omega. I suspect he buys retail and marks them up because people don't know they can order accessories directly from Omega.

If he has 650 links, then likely Omega still makes them.

Excellent. Still haven't heard back from the other site.

What's the best way to get in touch with the right people at Omega? The website is a Labyrinth. Should I just call the nearest service center to me?

I wonder the same for 518 endlinks 😀

Omega/Swatch in Turkey replies late or doesn’t reply, I’ve been meaning to call an AD or them directly but can’t find the opportunity in daytime
