Am I missing something?

Hi, being a new member of this forum, I certainly have questions, for which I still have not found answers. One of them is - what happened to 21mm Omega straps? I purchased both my Omegas on bracelets, but want to have straps for them too. For the Moon Phase Speedmaster, I found an almost new leather BSOM strap on ebay, so problem solved. On the other hand, finding a black/orange 21/18 mm strap for my PO is almost impossible. The Omega store does not sell those. There are many chinese sellers out there, but when I tried one (yes, I was that desperate 馃槈 ), the strap appeared to be a total crap, with the clasp lacking the finesse, but most importantly, that strap had a wrong position for the pin, so the pin did not fit the holes in the lugs. Couple scratches later, I threw it in the trash. Would appreciate any hint about how I could get a strap for my PO. Thank you. Cheers!

Omega doesn鈥檛 sell all their straps online, just a small fraction. Go to an AD and they should have a book of straps and bracelets. You find the one you want, they verify it fits your model, and they will order it for you. You buy the strap and clasp separately.

Not as quick as ordering online, but that鈥檚 how it鈥檚 done. And if you do find the strap you want online, it will likely be more expensive, unless it is used.

Thank you, will try. Did not know that AD can get me what is not available online. Cheers!

If they say they can't, keep pressing to talk to someone who knows what to do. I've encountered many salespeople at ADs who don't want to be bothered by small stuff like this. Or go to a branded boutique -- they're better.
