Own my dream watch (moonwatch 311.30.42.30.01.006). I purchased with a leather strap, thought it would dress up the watch (daily + formal purpose). But I’m on my 3rd strap… Rookie mistake not buying the steel bracelet.

Any recommendations on where to buy an authentic bracelet? One I know will fit and is authorized omega? Any close dupes?

Safest bet would be an official Omega outlet or maybe an authorised distributor.

I'd steer clear of dupes (counterfeits).

An authorized Omega dealer can order one for you.

Definitely go the AD route for this purchase. I’ve learned from my previous mistakes and ALWAYS purchase on bracelet. Always cheaper to buy straps than buy a bracelet

I also recommend OB/AD, this is your chance to upgrade to the 3861 bracelet which is lot nicer than the stock one for that model.

Unclestraps and Forstner both sell aftermarket bracelets that will fit that Speedmaster, in several different styles (including flat link). Some even have solid end links.

They are good quality, but not as good as OEM. A lot cheaper, though.
