The only place I can find is almost $170 for the band without the clasps. Does anyone have another source on an original band? Thank you-

 

ofrei but they ain't cheap.

I think you missed the "original" part. I assume that meant authentic.

 

ah. sorry.
Original bracelet is something special.

 

Steel or leather?

 

Sorry leather, and made authentic by Omega. Just did not want to spend $170 dollars

 

Originals are rare (extremely so) and very expensive.

After market are more readily available but are thicker and need a bit of work to fit to the watch.

A better option may be a bracelet (OEM or AM).

 

Genuine straps are not rare at all - Omega still sells them. But they are fairly expensive...

I can't speak to aftermarket (fake) bracelets, but genuine bracelets are way more than the straps are!
