For the folks in the EU: Just called up Omega Frankfurt and enquired about the GSOTM Strap and Ceramic Clasp.

The ceramic clasp costs ~600EUR and the strap costs ~300-330EUR. The ceramic clasp is not yet available to order in their system so they could not specify an available date. They did say that it is very new and therefore not likely available anytime soon and recommended that I call back in a month or two...
A week ago I picked up a ceramic clasp and straps at Bucherer in Hamburg. I spent 600€ for the clasp and 290€ for the straps. It took a long time to get these.

Which clasp and strap did u buy? Was it for the dark side or the grey side?

No dice. Said omega hasn't started selling it yet just like all the other shops I've talked to.

Martinez must have gotten one that was supposed to be on a new watch is my bet. I even called Nashville boutique right after just to see and sure enough the same sales lady I've talked to 4-5 times looked it up and still isn't showing available. She's always told me to just check back with her in a week or two that thought would be available last month.

Oh well. It will come eventually just wish was lucky enough that one would turn up off a new watch.

Ah mystery solved 😉 I have the new grey side deployment straps on the way, gonna use it with my polished deployment clasp for now and wait till the ceramic clasp is available.

Guys, just want to tell you that the Omega Boutique in Munich called me today that they have received their first Grey Side with ceramic deployant clasp.

Well US still not available!!!!!! Dang it! I called boutique as soon as saw that post and supposedly they will have an answer on availability by middle of next week. So that's better than the past 4 months to say the least. She said it was a color production issue with the Grey that held it up so long but doesn't sound right since they sell them now with it included. Who knows maybe there are a ton of rejects for the new models' clasps.

Same with the original-model Dark Side, at least at the 5th Ave OB in New York. They'll show me the tang-buckle Dark Side, but only the deployant-clasp Pitch Black & other variants etc.

Looking forward to the photos! Did the OB tell you how much the clasp alone costs?

These are the only photos I took of my GSOTM ceramic clasp, which I put away until the backordered strap arrives. This is the brushed-brushed version, as the brushed-polished isn't for sale yet. It was like $688 or something!

I just picked up a regular Ti Brushed deployant to use on my GSOTM. A few hundred cheaper and should just fine.

That's exactly what I did.

Extendable “PUSH” clasp on my Seamaster 300M is broken, and OB says clasps are 10+ months back ordered. Is it safe to wear?
