·I hope the watch came free with the bracelet. The information you’d need would be on the inside of the caseback; there is a chart floating around that tells you the endlink that fits the case. Be aware that often the “correct” endlink is for a five-row beads-of-rice bracelet, rather than the seven-row bracelet you have.

·I’d say €100 is about the value of the watch. Possibly less as the case is toast. It’s generally better to buy the best example you can rather than fixing up a poor example. The case here has lost much of its plating and it’s unlikely to be economical to repair.
The second hand is also missing. I’d suggest most people wouldn’t have bought it for €100.
But if you want a cheap beater you could just try and source an endlink and wear it until it breaks. I wouldn’t be spending money to service it.

·I agree that it is not worth hunting down the correct endlinks and investing yet more money on this watch. TBH, we don't even know if there is a 7-link BOR endlink that fits the case. It may not be the correct bracelet. These gold-filled cases were unfortunately not made to last, and that one is totally ruined. You definitely should not pay to have it serviced. The bracelet looks decent, but obviously not very useful without endlinks.
Next time, you might consider asking for feedback before purchasing. Fortunately, you didn't spend a lot of money.

·so as not to lie to you in fact on the photo the case is damaged but in reality it is rather clean that is why I am not more worried than that and I have just found endlinks for €0.99 on Chinese sites !

··ΩF InvestiGatorUnfortunately, the watch and bracelet were made about 10 years apart.
I don’t think that any flat end links were made for the “No. 12” bracelets that would fit your watch, although there could be non-Omega aftermarket products that might work for you.
I believe an optional bracelet for your watch would look more like this:

Obviously, you’ll need a gold-plated version of the above, which will likely cost more than the about you’ve invested in the pieces above.
Good luck with your search.

The case is certainly heavily damaged. On both sets of pictures you can see much of the gold plate is completely worn away, especially on the lugs.
