Omega Constellation - Additional Links
Discussion
Hi,
As per the "incoming" thread, I've recently purchased a used Omega Constellation for £700.
The watch arrived, and I'm pleased with it.
I've been in touch with Swiss Time Services about a service (£260), which was something I'd factored in when buying it, so no problem there.
The only other issue was the possibility that the bracelet might not be quite long enough and may need an additional link or 2, which turns out to be the case - looks like I need 2 additional links. I'd already had a quick look on eBay and seen links previously going for around £40 - £60. There aren't any currently on ebay that are the correct ones, so I have a search logged and will keep monitoring that.
Links are half gold bar ref number 1552/862.
I also asked STS about providing additional links, and they can do so, but at the somewhat eye-watering price of £157 per link.
So, is there anywhere else I could/should be looking for these additional links (I've checked ofrei.com - they don't have any), or am I playing a waiting game to see whether ebay comes up trumps (or I lose a load of weight first)?
Any help appreciated, thanks.
