·Wow, Omega accessories really are expensive. No idea a clasp+strap would cost that much.
Slightly off-topic, but they are still selling two versions of the DSOTM, one with the initial buckle and another with the foldover clasp in titanium+ceramic. There is a price difference, but not as much as buying it separately. 311.92.44.51.01.003 is the original model, the new one is 311.92.44.51.01.007
Not sure why they are still selling the first, some people end up buying the wrong one. The xSOTM really benefit from the foldover system to greatly reduce the chance of having it slip/drop to the floor.

·You mean the Dark Side Larry?
Well, there are two versions of the Grey Side clasp (1) brushed center/polished on each side of the center which is not available yet, or (2) all brushed. I ordered the all brushed Grey Side clasp, where they pointed it out to me in the catalog at the OB. I feel stupid that I didn't place the clasp next to my GSOTM to match the color. It looks grey in real life, but darker in the photos. It should be a Grey Side clasp. I'll dig it out of the safe and compare it to my watch color in the daylight tomorrow.

I can confirmed that you had ordered the dark side clasp.. because my darkside clasp carried the ref no of: CTZ003900. As you said, it is fully brush and greylish black in color..

·Well, what I ordered was Grey Side folding clasp - if you are correct then what they gave me was Dark Side clasp but it's not what I ordered. I'll have to discuss this with the OB, because it was the OB that actually opened the clasp package before they gave it to me, and I don't want a dark side clasp or be told they wont take it back because they opened it.

·I attempted a little time googling to see if I could come up with decent side by side comparisons for DSOTM and GSOTM deployant clasps to post for you Larry. Alas, it appears my Google-Fu is weak and I have failed. I imagine double checking with your OB will be fine. Perhaps they are just very similar in looks and appear identical from your picture and what's on my wrist.
It sounds like we should all just meet up, compare our wrists, and share a couple bottles of scotch 😀

·Well, I pulled the clasp out of my safe and it's a dark grey, not black, but darker than the GSOTM when compared side by side.
Pictures just can't easily show the difference, as I need 3 hands to hod the camera and the items next to each other for the same light and reflections. I'm going to pour 2 fingers of my 18 year Glenlivet now, stay calm, and call the OB tomorrow.
The OB said the brushed/polished clasp isn't available yet, and the brushed/brushed they sold me was available, so I said go for it. They had showed me the catalog in the store, where there were two different clasps for GSOTM in the book. They told me in February that the GSOTM deployant strap was backordered until early March, and it's almost mid-April and still backordered.

Or you just compare your clasp side by side with their DSOTM watch that has the clasp..

·Okay, so here is what I was able to find out. There are 5 ceramic clasps to be made that are listed in the catalog, some which are not available yet. See attached catalog page.
The black and grey each have two versions - one version comes with a brushed center part and polished parts on each side of the center piece, and the other is all brushed, and lastly there is one white version.
The grey brushed/polished is not available yet and I'm told that's what will be on the new GSOTM that hasn't hit the OB's yet, and the all brushed grey version is darker than the current GSOTM standard pin buckle. I got the OB to take photos of a couple of watches and the catalog page too, and it does appear that the black brushed/polished and all brushed grey are very similar in color. You'd expect the black to be blacker and the grey to be lighter.
The picture of the 2 clasps are as follows:
On the left-025CTZ002303, Black brushed-polished
On the right-025CTZ003900, Grey brushed

Both grey brush and black brush almost identical in the photo 😲

·I'm sorry Larry. But they are identical. Guess we'll have to wait and see when the actual clasp comes out. On the watch.

·Thanks Larry I saved that clasp page very helpful.
I am still waiting on my GSOTM deployant strap but did get the Ti deployant and I think it's going to look great on the GSOTM.

·Well, the catalog says the 025CTZ003900 is "grey brushed", and my part number matches that and it's a dark grey brushed clasp.
So I'm not going to freak out about it, unless the brushed/polished (that's not available for order yet) happens to be a light grey that matches the original clasp color perfectly. Then I'll be like, Grrrrr....

·Just got my GSOTM straps in for deployant buckle.
Looks good. I will be using the same setup a Ti deployant and the strap. Mine just came in I'll pick it up Saturday.

·This is the clasp on my new DSotM 311.92.44.51.01.007 and I find it very comfortable. The way this watch feels on the wrist was the biggest surprise of ownership.

·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!
@larryganz saw this picture on Omega's website of the GSOTM titanium Foldover clasp. Definitely a lot lighter in color that what they sold you.

If it's really like this. Will definitely pick one up.

·How much would one expect to pay for that?
