    Can someone tell me if you could also mount the bracelet of the DSOM with the folding clasp on the Apollo 8? Would like to switch in the summer rather on the nylon bracelet with folding clasp.
    The service of Omega could not answer the question to me, only the statement, another bracelet would not be provided.

    I was at my OB last month and they fitted the band from a regular DSOTM in all black and it looked really nice. Any of those 21mm bands should fit because it’s the same case.

    Thank you for your answer. Was it the bracelet with the normal clasp or the folding clasp and what is the price of the bracelets, if I may ask.

    As Pepe said, any of the straps offered on other Omega 44mm variants should fit the Apollo 8 just fine. If purchased, the strap and clasp are sold separately from Omega. I don't recall the cost but I have read that the ceramic deployant clasp is quite pricey.

    I think $450 for the clasp $250 for the band.

    In the U.K. it’s 350 quid for the ceramic deployant. About 200 for the strap. Pricey, but I might consider it however they chucked in a free dsotm buckle strap with mine so I’ll see if I like it first.

    Tbh, the buckle fits me just fine.

    I fitted my steel bracelet from my Co-axial Speedy to this one with the grey side of the moon ceramic case, it's a perfect fit.

    Dsotm strap on the Apollo 8. I actually prefer it as it lets the dial and bezel pop without the yellow on the strap.

    Hey there...
    Recently when I picked up my Darkside 8, I did notice that when first trying it on with my Sasquatch like wrist I was dangerously close to the end of the strap.
    We were able to outfit it with an Omega black Gator/leather strap with the deployment clasp. Very sharp and comfortable. There is a range of other possible
    Choices limited by preference and of course your pocket book!
    I am so happy with mine. Pics to follow.

    Is visiting an AD or OB the only way to see all the various strap/bracelet options? Seems daft that Omega don’t show the range in their website.

    Sorry to bring this back but for those that ordered the DSOTM strap and ceramic/Ti deployant clasp, how long did it take for it to arrive? My AD has the cordura strap is in stock but the clasp is back ordered about 6-8 weeks but i keep hearing it'll usually arrive faster than the quoted timeline.

    sorry Tom. I should’ve mentioned that I already put a deposit to order the strap and clasp. Nothing was on eBay or any where else at the time when I placed the order

    The strap that comes on the orange gold 44.25mm moonwatch would look pretty great on the A8 as well I bet!

    If anyone is willing to exchange the steel bracelet for the 44,25mm co-axial for money, feel free to PM me :)
    have the leather strap on my 311.33.44.51.01.001, but summer and steel bracelet is a better match in my eyes :)

    Was the $575 for the clasp alone, or with the strap as well?
