Hey guys...new member here from central Texas. Im waiting on my incoming Omega Seamaster (2254.50). I've researched all the models and this one is just timeless and classic. It's comes with the speedy bracelet and the original owner installed the micro adjustment clasp. I'm not a fan of metal bracelets so I'll be removing it in favor of a rubber strap and a deployment clasp. I've attached a pic of the strap and clasp I really like and hoping ya'll can guide me as to what model these are. Any other options that ya'll like I'll be glad to hear as well. Unfortunately (and hopefully) I'll have to sell off my metal bracelet and micro adjustment clasp to offset the cost of the OEM rubber and deployment. Is there a market for these metal bracelets? If so, any figure as to what a used one in decent shape goes for? I also will have the original clasp as well that will be included. I have no idea.

I just checked mine and there are no numbers on it.

That said, that is the "only" rubber strap for the 2254.50 and the strap and clasp are sold separately.

A site called authenticwatches.com claims the strap is 97996082. Another site/seller claims the clasp is 94531803.

I bought mine a few years ago, so I can't tell you whether it is still available.

I’m pretty sure this rubber strap is no longer available, but others may correct me. I owned one about 15 years ago, and while it is a nice strap, the clasp is rather large and I had a problem with the clasp opening unintentionally when I flexed my wrist. I was never happy with it, so eventually sold it.

Good luck on finding one. As far as selling the bracelet, I think having the micro-adjust clasp installed will be a strong selling point and allow you to sell above the normal bracelet. The best bet is to look for sold prices on EBay and price accordingly, or put in an auction at a low price and see what the market says. Just take good pictures and describe it well. If you’ve never sold on eBay, though, don’t expect a top price.

Well, then, there's always the 98000085 strap with the 94512012 buckle, but that's not deployant. But no way to know until you call Omega and ask.

Still available, bought one in 2020 from AD (Topper)
The clasp does take a bit of getting used to but personally I love it, the look is fantastic and one of the best fitting straps I've owned. Dont have the opening issues, but its a friction close and that nub can be opened wider to catch better after/if it has worn down.
