Hi, would anyone be able to tell me what omega bracelet would fit my vintage constellation? The ones I have now are generic and I’d like an official omega one but not sure which bracelet would have the correct end links to fit.
Isn't this your second time posting this? You really don't give us much information...Do you have the reference number? If you know the reference number, there are lists in other threads that list the appropriate bracelets per model. That being said, this is going to be pretty difficult for you to find.
Unfortunately I do not have the reference number this is why it’s proving difficult for me to find. I was hoping that from the lug ends visible in the pictures somebody may be able to give suggestions on what type of end links may fit. May be a lost cause... thank you anyways for your response. I did also post this twice as I’m new to navigating the forum and wasn’t sure I posted correctly the first time.
Yeah, anytime and no worries! I'm more of a vintage Seamaster person, so I wouldn't want to guess, but the lug style looks similar to the Ref. 166.041 Omega Geneve. Your best bet is to take it to a watchmaker and have him open the watch to give you the reference number off of the caseback. Then, you can compare the number to this list: https://omegaforums.net/threads/case-bracelet-endpiece-list.81618/ Again, I wouldn't want to guess because it would be a bummer if you had to search for a while and pay a pretty penny for a proper bracelet only to find out that it doesn't fit
Thank you very much that’s very helpful, I’m on the market for a vintage seamaster as we speak! Gorgeous watches!
I have actually managed to find the reference which is 168.025, apparently this is unusual, any idea on the correct thread or place to look for a bracelet? Thank you.
Found this 168.025 on eBay wearing a bracelet, end links are 518, bracelet is likely a 1040. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1960s-Full...lation-Gold-Filled-Watch-168-025/193707160539Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Here's what the 1040 looks like with 518 end links in a withdrawn sale from a fellow member: I've seen this model wearing other bracelets in Google Image Search. Here's the stainless version wearing a BOR on a Japanese language site. No assurance this bracelet is authentic Omega but it has a decent look to it. Maybe you can track down a plated version of this bracelet and end links using these pics. https://www.rasin.co.jp/smp/item/A-168025.html Hope this helps.
1040/518 is for a C case Constellation and would not fit a 168.025 correctly. The one in the link has been bodged on there pretty poorly.
