Rubber strap and deployant buckle from AD

Pikachu · Jul 16, 2023

How strict is their pricing on these items, i'm interested in acquiring a rubber strap and deployant buckle from an AD. Just wondering if anyone has managed to get maybe 10/15% off of one of these or any discounts at all or if they're super strict on pricing. Looking for one for the newer SMP300

Nothing but full price + tax everywhere I asked. Highly doubt you’ll get a discount.

Unless you are a good customer I think you better plan on paying list price.

Thanks for the replies, just debating if i want to try to find one used for a decent price or just bite the bullet.

They did just increase prices so you could try to negotiate for pre-July 1 prices? Give it a try.

You probably will not get much if any of a discount on these items considering that they are typically marked up if you purchase them new from anywhere but an AD/OB. Occasionally they show up for sale either here or on eBay but typically sell very quickly.

I just bought the deployant clasp directly from Swatch Group customer service and it was only $270. Pretty reasonable when there are sellers on Chrono24 charging $350+. The strap is another $270.

You could always forego the deployant if you want to save some money and just get the regular buckle. Instead of $540 it would be $330 total direct from Omega/Swatch Group. Not too bad IMO.

I find them very comfortable. I have deployant rubber on my PO and my AT. Worth doing.

Need the deployant, i honestly hate buckles.

It depends on how much you spend. When I bought my SMP (on bracelet), I negotiated a free strap with my purchase of the watch. They quickly agreed on condition that I also buy the deployant clasp as well.

Upon payment, my SA worked in a small additional discount on her own volition.

If you are a longtime customer or the jeweler is not doing well than they may offer a discount, otherwise I would expect it to be rare to find one. Although they are worth it
