Have just recently bought the latest blue 300m Pro with a stainless steel bracelet and thinking of also getting the blue resin/rubber strap as it looks lovely with the blue face. Of course, the official omega is the price you would expect it to be, but was looking online and found this one in an etsy shop. Anyone had any experience with any of these? Also, how does it fit around the lugs? Tt says it has a curved end. Seems good value???
thanks

It's definitely not OEM.

I've had experience with Etsy, but not with that specific seller. Etsy is a shot in the dark for most things. Anyone and anyone can sell on that site.

Let us know if you follow through with the purchase!

TBH, not much to lose. May or may not be my main strap as I have the original bracelet, so just think of it as an alternative. You never know I may prefer the blue!

If you like it I'd go for it. They have decent reviews but dont expect it to be legit in terms of genuine omega. I personally couldnt care less who makes the strap as long as I'm happy with it. I do want genuine hardware however so I'd be tempted to swap over my omega buckle from an old NATO strap but as far as the strap itself..... it's a wear item and is meant to be used and replaced. In my experience however, you get what you pay for but that's pretty low cost so it's worth the gamble.

Those are my exact thoughts and consequently I ordered one. I’ll update once I receive it

I think is a slippery slope as far as endorsing what is basically counterfeit goods. While I get the sentiment of not wanting to pay a premium for OEM items like straps, I fail to see how one can differentiate/justify that versus just going ahead and buying a counterfeit watch. JMO.

Now I will start off by saying I try to stick with OEM straps but have used a couple decent aftermarket ones.

I am all for saving money but I would always think I spent 1000s on a watch but I put a fake strap on.

Buy a legit aftermarket one (they are out there) or find a nice oem preowned or nos (they are also out there)

There are plenty of other straps for that price that don’t pretend to be OEM.
