Great content here! Extremely useful. Thank you!

I bought a Seamaster (ref. 166.110) a couple of months ago. It came on strap which I felt didn't match very well. I removed the strap to put it on a bracelet. The strap is a 1168 with 648 endlinks. As I was reading this thread, it seems the 1168 in 20mm is the proper strap for the Speedmaster Soyouz... and somewhat rare?

When did the solid links transformed into the later folded fixed links (the difference you can easily see from the side)?
Did the solid links only came on the 7077 bracelet or did the early 7912/1506 bracelets also have solid links (not folded sides)?

Can anyone confirm that the 145.014 and the 176.0012 use the same modern version of the bracelet? PN 022ST1162172 (1162/172)? Thanks.

No, 172 endlinks are 22mm wide. 145.014 needs 173 endlinks

So 172 for the mk4.5 and 173 for the mk II. Thank you.

Hi,
I have a question to ask here already written in another post, but which also concerns my bracelet.

1175 question…

1st edition MWO shows a No.12 clasp and a date stamp…I have a No. 29 clasp and no date stamp. Is my 1175 a service 1175 or used for oter Omega watch?

1st edition MWO indicating date stamp and No.12…


My 1175 indicating No.29…


…and no date stamp…


Thanks Omega Forum!

Dear Omega experts,
what do you think about this 1170 bracelet, is it genuine?
Looks like the letters aren't stamped or engraved, but embossed.

Thanks a lot for your evaluation.

My 1175 reports the no. 12 and a date 3 72... so coherent with the 145.022-71 it dress

ok, maybe this is the right place to ask.. I have a Seamaster 60 "Big Crown" (deep blue dial with the 60 explicitly reported on it ) bought in 60's brand new in Italy (where I still live) by my father.
Now it is in service as my father passed away 10 years ago and when I found the watch in a drawer it was desperately asking a service.
The point is:
the watch is a 166.0062 and is fitted with bracelet 1125-11 and 560 endings..
I don't think he replaced the bracelet but who knows.
I would like to understand if the 1125 is the original standard for seamaster 60 or not.. I'm quite sure there are 2 different versions of the watch.. One earlier (that I have) that reports the 60 on the dial and come out with black bezel not matching dial color.
And the second version with no 60 on the dial that had the bezel matched with the dial, but that's another story..
My Question is:
would I find a different bracelet for my dad's watch to bring it back to original? Or is it 1125-11 with 560 ends correct?

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for your help in confirming the authenticity of this bracelet, ref. 1469, on a Speedmaster Reduced (serial > 90000000) I’m about to purchase.
The engraving on clasp and end links are laser-etched instead of punching, which raises my doubts.
I’ve attached some photos with close-ups of the engravings.
Thanks a lot for your help!
