·Hi all,
Starting lurking on this forum a year or two ago and eventually succumbed to getting my first watch - a 1959 Omega Constellation ref. 14393. It came with a bracelet which @X350 XJR helped me identify as the incorrect bracelet for the reference. He kindly directed me to this post: https://omegaforums.net/threads/case-bracelet-endpiece-list.81618/#post-1045310 however all the reference numbers listed are in the format 16X.XXXX whereas the reference on my watch is 14393. Pictures attached and a few questions below:
1) Is this the correct year and reference for this watch? I can't seem to find the exact reference on the Omega official look-up. I think it may be this one https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-constellation-calendar-grand-luxe-ot-16963 but I'm not 100% sure.
2) Is there a conversion from the 14393 reference the seller provided to the 16X.XXXX format shown in the bracelet lookup guide? Just for my own edification / learning.
3) @X350 XJR mentioned the correct bracelet is "a 5-row BOR like the 1036 with #11 ends". Are there any other references that would be appropriate for this watch?
4) Where would be the best place to acquire one of these bracelets? I've looked on the accessories for sale forum and while they seem to pop up every now and then, I haven't seen one recently. I'd like to post on WTB but I don't think I have enough engagement on the forum to post there yet.
Thank you all in advance for the help!
