·I bought the watch second hand with a strap. I then bought the omega mesh bracelet to go with it but wonder if anyone can recommend any other good aftermarket bracelets for it. Doesn’t seem like Forstner makes any.
Any aftermarket bracelets for the Seamaster 300 Heritage?

·Why not just order the OEM flat link bracelet that’s made for the watch? I’m sure that it’s expensive, but it’s also one of the best bracelets that Omega makes.

·Understood. I own the watch and the bracelet is really excellent. One of the best that I’ve seen from Omega in a long time.
Ditto. I sold the previous version to get the new one primarily for the improved bracelet!

·You don’t happen to remember the price or know the model number? I may wind up having to go that route
Sorry. Meant I bought the entire watch (with bracelet) not just the bracelet. The bracelets between the old and new model are different and not swappable. With that said, I can give you the number on the back of my bracelet:
STZ014126

Don’t know if the first line is the part number or not.

·Agreed here. Best bracelet omega makes alongside the new speedy. Cannot go without it. I’d say it’s better than the oyster bracelet save for the thicker clasp

The second generation has an end link and female Center link, the prior generation there is no separate end link. I've read that others have tried it and it hasn't worked.
I've got them both but haven't tried to personally swap the bracelet, I'll look at it tomorrow.

Yes, people have tried it. Can’t find the link, though. The new bracelet/case have a two slots in the end link and two small lips on the case for the slots. The older bracelet/did not have this, but used a piece of metal across the lugs for stability. I also don’t think the placement of the lug holes are the same — I believe they are closer to the case on new setup.

·Isn't it a bit wide and with a very chunky clasp? What about a forstner or unkle Seiko?
This is true of the old Seamaster 300 bracelet for sure. Unfortunately, neither Uncle Seiko or Forstner make a 21 mm bracelet. And for the old model, one can’t simply swap out the end pieces, because they are not compatible.
Trust me, I looked at all possible options, even tried some aftermarket oyster bracelets, and couldn’t find anything that fit well besides the OEM bracelet.
