Reference information for a bracelet

Hi guys,
If I'm here today, it's because I have a question about my Omega Seamaster. I bought it at the beginning of the year and ever since, I've been desperately trying to figure out what she looked like with her original bracelet. Also, I don't really know how much does it cost to get one, if anyone knows, I would be happy to get a rough idea.

I'm not looking for a bracelet in pristine condition, as my watch is from 1961 and has never been polished, so a bracelet with some history would blend in well with it. She has her serial number which is 18712142 and if I don't make any mistake, she has a 285 mouvementassiez inside. On the bottom of the watch, it is engraved 14390-61-SC. You can also find a picture of the watch, the most beautiful of my collection according to my eyes and my heart.

I'm counting on you, I'm here on the advice of an acquaintance who told me you work miracles.
Thanks in advance
Mathys, a young man passionate about watches.

Hi,
most likely a 'five row' BOR with 11 (511) endlinks will fit, for example a 1036 like this:

you should get one (including endlinks) for 150€ to 200€

Hello Mathys, and welcome to the forum. While your watch may not have come originally with a bracelet, you can probably find one that will fit reasonably well. A beads of rice bracelet, as suggested above, may appeal to you, the five-row as shown, or a seven-row (e.g. 1037)

The seven-row BoR bracelets had end links with a more wedge-shaped (less rounded) profile, which might also look good with the lugs of your watch. If there is no "correct" bracelet, it will be your choice.

This old sales listing shows a very nice example of a seven-row BoR.

The bracelet is in excellent condition, cleaned inside out, and ready to wear.
I'm asking for 230 USD plus shipping or equivalent in EUR/GBP via Wise or bank transfer.

A flatlink bracelet would also look great, but the price would be significantly higher.

To find a bracelet like this, what are the best alternatives? Chrono24 or something like that?

Thank you for the warm welcome! I'm actually less of a fan of flat swimsuit bracelets, they seem less harmonious to me, but to each their own, as we say where I'm from.
For rice grain type bracelets, what are the first things to look at, is there the same process as for Rolex bracelets that no longer hold up?

Best place to look is ebay IMO. If you found one check here on the forum before you buy it. Good luck!
