·Looking at a Maison Fondee. Is it possible to swap the bracelet for a leather strap? I know this is a funky watch and borderline vintage. Daughter is looking for a sub $1000 cool watch for fiancee
REF 166.0285

·It should not be a problem to install a strap. You will just want to get the proper spring-bars.

·I've never seen or heard of this model before but I think it's quite pretty!

·Jumping on the band wagon here. I also have never come across this but love it. Omegas back catalogue is wild

·Isn’t this the same reference @ErichKeane has been working on AKA ‘The Dumbest Speedmaster’ (his words not mine)?

So I have been repairing watches and put out feelers/trade watches I'm done with, and have an incoming. Typically I wouldn't want an Omega this recent, but it is actually just a rebadged ETA movement (so parts should hopefully be easy!). Also, this one is seemingly in decent shape with a 2 tone bracelet.
Sold to me as "doesn't work, has a rusty stem", but I'm getting it for a pretty good value, so I'm OK with cat-in-the-bag. Should be a fun project anyway 😀
BUT the most interesting thing? The 166.0285 was advertised as a "Speedmaster". Not a chrono? Not a problem to Omega's...

··Oooo subtitles!It looks like a Seamaster 120m variant from the 1990s so fitting a strap should be a piece of cake. The bezel and possibly crown are probably solid gold. Will be around 35mm only though so not massive. As above, some of this case number were weirdly branded as a Speedmaster but not I suspect here where MF was used instead.
It'll look like this on a a strap:
