    hi OF,

    Excited to have an incoming 166.077 Plorpof 600m.

    My 3rd ever Omega.

    It arrives near the end of this week and I’m already thinking about how to play dress up!

    Are there any good resources out there for perhaps an orange ladder style rubber strap?

    I’m finding that I’ll need to find a buckle with a 10mm tongue as well to fit the OE rubbers.

    Additionally I’d love to have a mesh to match up to it with the old seatbelt style buckle. I’ve got an old one for my d 165.024 SM300 that I had to let go a few years ago but I’m assuming now with this new one I’ll need a 24mm size mesh. Any tips on where I ought to look?

    Thanks in advance!

    Here’s the little buddy this Ploprof will get to snuggle up next to:

    Your local jeweler can order anything you need directly from Omega.

    Thanks so much!

    I’ll definirely try one out.

    This I had no idea.

    I’ll ask our local watchmakers and jewelers. Great reason to build a relationship there.

    I’d really like to get an orange strap. I stumbled on a buckle on eBay.

    I hope the 6mm tongue is correct

    So the hunt already begins.

    I got myself a nice Omega buckle and off to find an omega rubber strap.

    The hard find will be the seatbelt buckle 24mm mesh for a not so unattainable price.

    Here they play together alas!

    Talking about orange rubber straps, the Ploprof works well on a Isofrane strap also, a slightly more modern look than on the Omega rubber strap...

    And I also like the look and feel on the orange denim Barton strap also, just as a suggestion...

    I really love those seatbelt buckle mesh but I’ll be damned if I pay £450 for one..: I’ll stick with just the OEM bracelet I’ve got that came with it and pick up an OEM blue rubber along with a Borealis orange.
