Hi folks. For anyone buying the new 300M diver on the bracelet, have you found out if the rubber strap can be purchased separately? If so, how much is it?

Cheers

If Omega continues their policy of if you have the money then they'll sell it, I'm pretty sure you can buy the rubber separately. This isn't Rolex who frowns upon modding watches.

 

Changing a bracelet to a strap is "modding" the watch according to Rolex? \

 

I've bought rubber straps from Omega Boutiques in the past, so shouldn't be a problem.

 

No but some of the watches on bracelet have different lug locations then on a strap. Hence Rolex does not offer factory options to switch.

 

See new Pepsi GMT in SS or the oysterflex Daytona's in PM.

 

Asked a boutique about this just last week. No problem. Make sure they have it in stock before you head down. They will ship to you too.

 

The 300M diver can be bought with either. I want both.

 

Buy it on the bracelet and add the rubber later from the boutique. I’m guessing in the price range of $450-$550. Based on when I purchased the rubber strap for my planet ocean. Straps alone are in the ballpark of 250 then the cost of whatever buckle goes with said strap.

 

Yup I was referring to the Rolex modification comment.

Omega’s are easy to swap.

 

Ordered the silver dial/blue bezel on the bracelet today and paid my deposit. They didn't know yet what the blue rubber availability would be, but I'll wait quite happily.

 

I'm able to buy tax free as we are heading overseas for a bit shortly after purchase, so that is saving me a decent chunk...certainly enough to pay for the rubber strap and then some.
