The gold tone Omega BOR bracelet arrived today. I sized it to fit my 7” wrist, and attached it to my gold tone Connie. Big difference in quality vs. the aftermarket bracelet, and the color is pretty close to the gold tone color on the case and lugs. Overall, I’m very satisfied.

I suspect (but do not know) that it slightly tarnished in storage. Perhaps it's worth a trip through the ultrasonic with some gold cleaner?

It's strange that people don't think of calling Omega Customer Service directly for parts. Thru the years and three continents, I lost two sizing links for my 1978 1171/1 Speedy bracelet. I found a few on eBay ranging in price from $80 ea + $19 s/h in GB to around $1200 (!) in South America.
I called Omega in NJ on Monday, gave them my bracelet part number, ordered two links for $33 each, and a few bucks for two pins and tubes. I took the bracelet off 40 yr ago and didn't remember if it needed tubes- so for $1 each, I had them throw in two. I placed the order Monday and today, two days later, all parts have been shipped!

Just be sure you have the nine (?) digit part number for the original bracelet or the CSR gets cranky...
