I have it !!!
In Response To: Here's Some Info *PIC* ()


I just found & checked another OFREI page => OFREI's Omega Bracelets page previously I only checked their bracelet links page.

If I search this page with any of the 3 numbers that we currently have ( 1155 or 1205 or 1233 ) I find matches. Some of the matches are for braclets to REPLACE the one we're looking for, some are matches.

NONE of them look like my bracelets :-(

I'm SURE my bracelets are correct ( there's also a Cosmic 2000 pictured on Page 98 of the "japanese Seamaster book" with this bracelet )

THEN I noticed the case ref in the Japanese book .. 366.0830 :-)

Armed with this I went to the OVI ( Omega Vintage Information ) webpage & entered the number. They show this pic

Which shows exactly my watch & bracelet.

& the text has the following :-



This watch may have existed with different dials.

More product information

Case ref. = 166.0160
Case : (11,1 x 40 x 41 mm), with SS integrated bracelet of ref. 1205/217.
Bezel : rotating, knurled, with "1-12" scale
International Collection : 1973-1979
Swiss retail price (1978) : CHF 520.-


So I think we have it now :-) It's a 1205/217

( I'm still wondering what the 1155/254 & 1233/215 are though )

I have no idea where you can find one of these bracelets though.
