Which BOR bracelet?

Hi, noob here. I bought a 166.001 Seamaster and really happy with the purchase. It came with a nice strap, but shiny croc leather isn't really my thing. I've been hoping to find the age appropriate BOR bracelet, but I don't need a $300-$400 mistake on ebay at this point in my life.

I checked the reference provided in another thread, but the 166.001 case is not listed.

So if I'm safe just splashing out for a 1036 or 1037 bracelet, I'm really hoping someone can just tell. Or maybe I should be paying more attention to the end links?

Thanks, probably covered somewhere else, but I did search before asking.

Yes, you need to pay attention to the proper end links. Any of the 18mm Omega BOR bracelets should work, but achieving a good fit is all about having the correct end links.

Endlinks are 570 or 70 with a 1068, 1037 or 1503 bracelet.
1036 is not correct.

I agree. A 7-row BoR with the flatter end links will look much better on this watch. OP, the best way to research this is via a google image search for your watch. Find lots of photos with bracelets that look good, and then click on the links to figure out which bracelets and endlinks are shown.

The 166.001 case is uncommon but very, very similar to the 166.002.
