And 1966 was the last good footballing (soccer) year for the English.... 馃槈
Interesting. I'm English on my mother's side (grandpa = Winston, grandma = Catherine, uncle = Raymond, mom = Elizabeth) and I was born in 1966. Coincidence? I offer this up as evidence too: I was born on May 6th and live in New Jersey. The Hindenberg crash was on May 6th in NJ. Hmmmmmm......
Just an added find.........

It is just gorgeous.
An already beautiful watch becomes even more attractive with the superb bracelet. It is rather strange, I love to see a vintage-watch with a vintage bracelet. However, I have never worn any watch with a metal bracelet, so far. I think, I must have missed something good.
Thank-you.
The vintage bracelet (1039) or (1171) are lighter than one would think Also they have a vintage klank (or rattle) that some love and others do not. I for one love the vintage klanks....and find great comfort in these straps.馃憤

I am trying to learn the model ref for bracelets, even though I have always worn my watch with a leather-band.
What model ref is your bracelet, by the way?
I know of a friend who has worn his 120m of the 70s, with a bracelet. Recently I saw it bracelet-less.
Thank-you.

I appreciate the link.
As I was scanning through the various bracelets and their descriptions, I was startled to discover those Omega bracelets are made in Hong Kong.
Is there any difference between a vintage bracelet, presumably then Swiss made, and the current bracelet made in HK?
Thank-you.
Can't seem to locate this Hong Kong ref......you point out?? From what I have discovered this is legit.....Omega straps.
