·Got this a few months back, without a bracelet or strap. Located both blue and a brown leather replica straps and chose the blue one to match the dial. Like the vintage ads say, this shape is super comfortable on the wrist. And the oval case is conspicuously wider than most of my vintage Omegas. Attaching the strap was a bit of a learning experience, as none of my normal caseback tools and spanners would allow me to apply enough pressure evenly to get the thread started. Lucky me, I had a 3D printed six-tab tool that came with a transparent sapphire back I had bought for another vintage Omega. It has a 1.5 inch handle that allows you to press down and turn at the same time. Once the thread caught (and I had determined that it wasn't cross-threaded) I spent the next three weeks easing it down a fifth of a turn at a time. Then I would let it set for a few days to compress the leather, and give it another twist. It is now pretty darn secure, and I can only see one thread peaking out from the ring. Getting it off might be another matter.
Only problem is that I have caveman wrists, like 8.5 inches, and straps are always an issue for me. This one actually catches the last hole and is wearable, but a but snugger than I generally like. If anyone knows where to get a 1153/138 stainless bracelet, or even the ring part that attaches to the case, please let me know. I am considering carving one myself in wax and casting it in 14K white. Or maybe even 10K, as 14K may not have the rigidity.
