I think the order of magnitude is about CHF 1000. I bought the leather strap and clasp separately for chf 710 in total. I once asked the price of a Titanium bracelet at ab Omega boutique (for the aqua terra good planet) and they quoted roughly chf 1500. Therefore I think a steel bracelet should come in at 1000 more or less.
Taking €/$/£ into account, which would you rescue (including straps) from a fire - GM blue, or VC Overseas?

Hi fellow GM fans,
I was wondering if anyone on this thread could give me an idea of how much the bracelet costs?
I was so close to becoming part of the GM owners club but my purchase fell through yesterday (long story but the seller just didn't seem to be able to get the GM) sadly so I am back on the hunt and now considering pre owned...hence my question on bracelet. I have searched online and read forums but can't seem to find the price anywhere and all the OB's in London are closed due to Covid. I have the product code 020stz002922.
Very much hope to be able to join the GM club soon with a blue dial 😀 and thanks in advance for any input.
I paid £750 for mine in August 2019 (bought in the UK from an AD). The list then was £805 so I got a small discount. To my shame (and being very time poor) I have not tried it on yet. From July this year I plan to make a lot more time for myself.

@Omegafanman thanks for that info (UK based here too, so really handy) and no shame at all the GM looks stunning on leather & bracelet so both are a win. Hope you do get to make more time for yourself this year whether that's watches or otherwise. I just got back from a long walk so felling refreshed.
Yes, Globemaster has anti-reflective coating on inside & outside of the crystal. It was my daily wearer for work trips, and having accumulated ~200,000 flight miles around the world with mine since getting it in early 2016, I've fortunately yet to get any scratches on the outer AR coating.
During my first year 2 years of ownership, I did have to send it for a warranty fix on 2 occasions, because of white flecks getting stuck to the inside of the crystal. Both times, it was attributed to small specks of superluminova that had come off either a hand or hour marker. Hopefully just an early-production run quirk, as mine was one of the very 1st Globemasters delivered to the U.S. As I recall there was a very long wait between when this model debuted at Baselworld 2015, coinciding with the introduction of METAS certification program, and when the supply of this watch finally trickled into OB's almost a year later.
This modern iteration of the C-case definitely gives the GM a very different feel compared to the lug shapes on the '56 pie pan Connie. Between the 2, I prefer how the Connie's lugs wrap around the wrist with a downward slope, compared to how the case curvature of the Globemaster (and the lugless Manhattan) actually flare upwards away from the wrist.
I personally prefer a down-ward curve, to wrap around the wrist. I came very close to purchasing a 2013 Sedna LE Constellation, and also contemplated upgrading to the Sedna Globemaster, but decided in the end I that for a watch that expensive, I wanted to have a case shape and/or lugs that better contour to the shape of one's wrist. Closer to what AP does on its Jule Audemar lugs, or VC's 4400-caliber Traditionelle, and of course, the Omega Constellations of the 1950's from within this collection's own DNA.
For the 70th anniversary of the Constellation in 2022, I'm hoping Omega introduces a heritage model with a case & lug design that slopes downwards toward the wrist.
I think the Globemaster is the only worthy successor to the classic Constellation line. I know everything is a matter of personal taste, but the modern Constellations are just hideous in my opinion. 😲
Timeless design? Uck!

Not just hideous, simply ugly and a complete fail. Have you ever seen one of these out in the wild? I’m quite sure they won’t be continued very long in Omegas collection. Why didn’t they ask friends of the brand first before they brought these on the market?
Great choice! I cannot say anything negative about the watch itself, it’s great everyday watch with plenty of potential to play with the straps. My only negative feedback is the bracelet, hard to adjust to sit ideally on the wrist: no micro adjustment or even half links.
Z ZanzibarThanks.
Well it’s not that heavy. The speed pro hesalite on bracelet sized to my wrist is a tad above 140g.
