Hi All
I am looking for some advice on a watch I inherited form my Grandfather, via my father. I want to pretty much just put it together, as it seems to be missing its "end links?" and service it if it needs as I am not aware that it has ever been serviced.
From what I can see, it is gold plated, so not really worth spending money on?
It currently works perfectly.
So I am basically looking for the case code, or end link numbers that I can purchase somewhere. I will change the strap if I need as well, just to complete it.
And no clue where to take it for a service or sorts if it needs it, I stay in Brisbane Australia, But can do the service in the UK as well if need be.

Some pics :

 

Watchco (now in NZ) have lots of links for sale at the moment.

There should be a number on the clasp of your bracelet that will help identify what links you need.

Start here and good luck.

Just a thought. It looks to be gold capped not plated, the gold is much thicker. IMO it's worth a few bucks to set right.

 

@JimInOz - Thanks, that was painless, he has exactly what I am looking for listed.
And yes it does look gold capped, I think i will post it down to http://www.watchrepairsmelbourne.com.au/ to get it serviced and cleaned up as they seem well rated.

 

It looks like a 166.028

if you go here and search (strg-f) for 166.028
http://www.ofrei.com/page838.html

it says, the bracelet 1067 is continued by 1125 and the end links 560

 

Ok, its a 1175 bracelet, looks like I need 640 end links.

 

the spareparts number might be

Omega 026LX560

 

okay, then

Omega 026LX640

 

ok, so I am not looking for the 640 end links, but rather the 560's ?

 

no.. if you had the 1067 bracelet, it would need the 560's

for the 1175 you need the 640's

 

lol, I think I will just send it down and let them decide, I am by no means an expert and just want it back together and as shiny as possible

 

aha, perfect thanks for your time.

 

I don't think it is a 166.028. Here is my 166.028, it is not a "Cosmic" and has a screw in case back. But I have been wrong before.

 

I may be wrong!

But it's interesting: I find many examples, when you google "cosmic 2000 168.028"
https://www.google.de/search?q=cosmic+2000+166.028

 

I think yours is a 168.022

Unfortunately this day model of Cosmic 2000 is not listed in the "Omega A Journey through Time" on page 295... only the day-date.

 

And that search also shows Constellations, Flightmasters, Seamaster 300's and more Omega references, so what's your point?

 

I do not find any Constellation 166.028,
any Flighmaster 166.028,
any Seamaster 300's 166.028
???

My "point" is, that I find under the reference 166.028 no none-Cosmics. And your case back has two reference numbers inside, which is not uncommon. I think, that your Seamaster none Cosmic has/is the first reference.

Best!

 

The first reference 168.022 is for the chronometer rated Cal. 564 Seamaster the second 166.028 is for the non chronometer which I have cal. 562/563.

And only 1 of the links that search leads to actually shows the inside of the case back and that one says 166.128:

This example also matches the case shape and snap back so I am going with 166.128.

 

My apologies, My first look was only at the images (and they did show many different Omegas) not the links see above on the links
