Hi OF

Just curious if the facets of this Connie checks out. It looks very mint. Been trying to compare to images available on the forum and on the web and I can't seem to find one with this variation of bracelet - is it original?

As always, I appreciate your time in advance.

Looks like a nice example of a 1970s Connie, with a 10xx calibre inside - maybe a 168.0056. I can’t comment on the bracelet's authenticity with this model. I know that a brick style bracelet was an option on earlier Connies and that many were shipped with leather straps. This beads of rice bracelet looks nice, though!

EDIT - sorry, just saw you’d already posted the reference in the title... ::facepalm1::

You don´t happen to know where to find a correct crystal for these? Unfortunately mine looks like this (pic from the auction house):

No judgement passed here. As you can see from my profile, I have only contributed a handful of posts, and I have no doubt I will commit a worse sin!

Cheers for the input.

Cheers Shabbaz, just to confirm it does not appear to be an original bracelet for the Connie right? The bracelet in the picture being a 1037.

Incidentally, where have you sourced your above image? Tremendously useful.

Thanks for your post mate.

You can ask @Archer. I get mine from a watchmaker in the Netherlands with a Omega account.

In the past I've bought from otto frei as well.

Thanks, and sorry for sneaking in this thread. I´ll ask Archer, I don´t have a clue which one of the crystals on Ofrei is for my model 😜

Dear @Archer, do you know about any substitute of 298ZSZ009612? I am asking, as this item must be very rare. There is no online offer for it. The only one reference was scotchwatch.com, but they are out of stock on it.

098EG0021 is the discontinued part number, so you can try that...

@Archer
Could you please let me know the reference number of the bezel for this model? It turned out that mine is cracked 🙁

Thank you for your help
