    The Omega Dealer I work with told me the 020STZ011626 is the black Velcro cork covered strap. They can’t find a number for the bracelet. The number in the pictures is ST011629, which they can’t find as a valid part number. They have contacted Switzerland for more information.

    Hopefully you can order just the bracelet and it fits on the standard Moonwatch. And have the finish brushed too.

    Sorry, but your information is not correct. The part number I gave is for the entire steel bracelet.

    020STZ011626 | BRAC 310 ST 42 POLISH SATIN

    MATERIAL : STEEL

    FINISH : POLISH-SATINED

    I didn't look closely at the photos, but you appear to have seen a part number on part of the bracelet:

    130STZ011629 | BRACELET STRAND COMPLETE 6H STEEL

    That is not the part number for the entire bracelet...the information I have given is correct, and the bracelet is 020STZ011626.

    ^^^ That’s not the part number for the entire bracelet, but for only a portion of it...

    Yeah, I got that. Missing the prefix 020 and/or 130. Was simply sharing the photo I saw that gave some evidence of at least part of the PN.

    In an email sent yesterday, my local boutique has committed to delivery in July. No other specifics.

    In some ways the modern Speedy may be a little too cold but it's simplicity and functionality is great for a Chrono.
    But this also contributes to it being so versatile with regard to strap options.

    I really like it esp. the gold but can’t afford it.

    Al, I am sure you are correct. I think my local Omega dealer has their challenges when it comes to using the Omega extranet.

    I spoke to an Omega rep (an AD?) from Atlanta at the PGA Championship in Bethpage NY today. (Omega had a heavily staffed massive booth/store) I told him I had put down a deposit on the Apollo 11 50th a few weeks ago. He told me not to expect delivery until November, maybe even 2020. Unless you jumped on it early "definitely not July".

    I really like the watch but need to see it in person. Not sure how I feel about tying up $10k for six months or more.
