Just tried it. The 527 end links are not a good fit because the lugs of the 168.010 are much shorter.

I see what you mean, the end links don't quite close the gap do they! Still looks great on a BOR though 馃榾 I wonder if a different end link might work or if that's the best fit that can be achieved...curious as I have recently bought a CK2976 and intend to wear with a Hirsch strap but wondered about investing in a BOR for it 馃榾
Regards,
Dave

Exactly, there may be better fitting end links out there, but it's not going to be easy to find them. The 7-row BOR usually goes with Connies and the only 19mm Connie I am aware of would be the 168.010. Maybe there is a 5-row BOR with end links that could fit, but I couldn't tell.
On the plus side, I've now put my 168.010 on a strap, and it doesn't look half bad either 馃榾

I will keep researching and see what I come up with...I'll post back here if I find any good alternatives, perhaps a different SS Omega bracket perhaps.
The Connie looks lovely on a leather strap 馃榾

I need to wear that one again. It's been lying in a box for months.

Cool! It's a small club! Did you buy it from a japanese dealer?
That is the only source to get one, I think.
Tamura gave me the link and I bought it via Buyee on Yahoo Japan Auction.

Picked up a 38mm 2867 from a thrift store. I need to find the correct size clover crown for it and have no idea what size it should be.
Has a crazy tropic dial and I love it. Can't wait to have it serviced and wear it around .
