You can't put a lot of faith in what a salesman in a boutique tells you, perhaps his store allocation is sold, but I'm confident that these will be available to those that want them, the trouble could be the trickle supply.
Well I guess someone here, that has both, will try that combination at some point.
It is highly unlikely that you will be able to walk in to an AD or OB and just order the bracelet on its own, but I‘m sure folks will eventually figure out how to make it happen.
You can always see who in the forum has one on reserve and see if you can work with them to get you one. I spoke with my OB and they are only selling a replacement band for buyers of the A11 50th.....so I requested to buy a replacement bracelet to see if it fits my other Speedy.
Do you intend to make the spare bracelet available to OF members at zero profit to you?
When you have sold the spare and decide that you need a replacement bracelet at some point in the future do you expect Omega to supply that also?
The intention is to see if it fits my other Speedy GSOM Meteorite since I love the thin bracelet. If it doesn't fit, then I'll probably let it go at cost. I'm not a big fan of "flipping" or making money off fellow collectors. I'm sure if I need another one, Omega would supply me with one for a price.....If I were them, I'd track to see how many of the replacement bracelets people are requesting and have a limit to them....
The fact of the matter is that a 50th anniversary edition has a greater intangible asset value and that is how Omega is justifiable in the price over the mere change physical materials from the previous version. Go walk into a OB or AD tomorrow and see if you can get someone to take your money. Well an AD might....but I have been told by my AD they were promised a number which they presold and that Omega has come back and told them they will be getting less. Now they have to tell a few people they won’t be getting the watch.... The price is clearly what the market will bear.
Heard some are on there way already to Aus....

How does this work with regards getting one then? Just keep calling in in person every day until you get lucky? Or can you just phone up every morning to get one?
