Feels like a question that would’ve been asked before but couldn’t find an answer...

A Speedmaster professional that I’m considering to get has a leather strap, which I think looks great. Down the road, if I wanted to switch to a stainless bracelet, can I purchase one directly from Omega? Anyone know ballpark prices?

thank you

 

It depends on which bracelet and end links you’re talking about. Some are available directly from Omega, others you have to get from third party sources. None of them are inexpensive. Do you know the model numbers for the bracelet and end links (for example, 1171/633 or 1479/812) or the reference number for the watch?

 

yea based on convos I’ve seen it appears some are rarer/more desirable than others. I think period-correct would be nice but probably wouldn’t be too picky, likely a watch for life

the one I’m looking at is a ref 311.33.42.30.01.002

 

1998/849 should fit.

 

It's nearly always cheaper in the long run to buy a watch on a bracelet. Will also be easier to sell with a bracelet.

Guesstimate for a bracelet to fit your watch 350 to 600 USD.

you also have after market options for 100 to 200 usd.

 

Currently at least 4 bracelets should be available.
The 1171/1-633

the previous bracelet that is about a decade old, and the new bracelets for the new 3861 model which has 2 variations, one is all brushed the other has some polished links.

 

FYI uncle Seiko makes great Speedmaster bracelets for under 100 usd.

 

I've been looking for a decent 1610/930 and mesh bracelet for my new acquired Omega SMPc, any leads on good quality aftermarket bracelets?
