So my vintage Omega Seamaster Cosmic came with the incorrect Endlinks, and they were fairly bent. However, I was able to source the correct ones a while back and an entire bracelet in mint condition that where the production date matches the extract from the archives. It's amazing because the mint condition bracelet was ordered before the extract, so it was clearly meant to be. Now that has been resolved, I've got a spare bracelet (1037 I believe) with the aforementioned 606 Endlinks. My goal for this was to figure out what watch those 606 Endlinks were designed for so I can source just the watch head and have another,(unexpected) vintage Omega for a very good price. Below are some images: The new Endlinks that match this watch

That’s really cool and as you said, with matching dates, it seems it was destiny

muckymark - Thanks! Baco Noir - Indeed it was! Sourcing the correct Endlinks was remarkable too. Couldn't find them anywhere on the internet, like at all. Browsed enough eBay listings and found a Cosmic with them. However, the images weren't clear, so messaged the seller who confirmed the number. From there I found some (the only ones) listen on eBay or anywhere as aforementioned. Originally he wasn't shipping from Texas to Canada but when told the watch story made an exception. Many things had to happen for me to not only figure out what the original Endlinks should look like but finding the matching part number for this particular case. The bracelet came from a seller in Japan and it's so amazing how this worked out. Still no luck determining which case matches those 606 Endlinks. Seems as if this too will be an in-depth research project.
