Omega Seamaster Soccer Timer (145.020) Replacement Bracelet

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of acquiring my first Omega a beautiful 1969 145.020 Soccer Timer and I am having some difficulty sourcing a bracelet. Unfortunately the watch doesn't come with the original metal band and I was looking for something that looks similar to what the watch originally came with. I know that it came with the 1170 bracelet 625 end-links but those are hard to come by, so I am looking for something similar but more budget friendly.

I was doing some research and found the President Bracelet (Omega Seamaster 176.007) from Uncle Seiko but after doing some research it seems like that band won't fit. Has anyone had any luck finding a budget replacement band?

I can't wait to officially join the Omega community!

Thanks for the quick reply! I just took a quick look at what Forstner has to offer and I didn't see anything at first glance that would fit the 145.020 case

Any one have any luck with Ofrei bracelets?
