BOR bracelet
I have owned a 1965 Constellation cal 561 since 1973 on its original BoR bracelet, bought from a fellow student who could not afford a service and who was happy to let it go. The bracelet is too short for me now and so I inserted a 15 mm wide s/s hand-polished slightly curved extension into the folding clasp. Works a treat and blends in well with the clasp when on my wrist and now gives extra length that can also be varied. by using the existing holes for the spring bar.
Bought the extension on the internet, made a tiny modification and polished it to match the clasp.
Lovely watch you have and looks better on the BoR bracelet!
Found my perfect vintage Seamaster!
I have actually seen this watch a few times, at Otto Friedl, a local watch repair & restoration shop also selling pre-owned watches. It comes with a mint condition Beads of Rice bracelet, which is unfortunately too small for me by about 1 - 2 links. T...
Very handsome watch
The condition looks very good. A really nice dress watch with vintage feel. Thanks for sharing. Melvin

Sounds like a good solution!
I plan to keep the BOR bracelet, at least for now. Usually I prefer bracelets over straps, though. Thanks for the idea. Maybe if I can get the strap to work, I will wear it more often that way. Cheeers, Carl
very nice aquisition.
i love the classic Omegas more than any other brand, although i stick to just one year of manufacture. an original bracelet is a valuable bonus. i have a 561 connie on a BoR bracelet and a Seamaster Deville on another BoR bracelet. they are a bit slack an...
lovely watch but..............
.............I really don't go much on Beads of Rice bracelets - I've had a few and they always seem to be hair-pullers!! Much better anyway on a leather strap - well done. Cheers Andrew
