Hi guys I got my 41mm AT a few months ago on the OEM rubber strap. Love it. But I would also like the bracelet as well. Yes I should of bought it when I got the watch and sourced an aftermarket rubber strap but I didn’t. I’ve kept an eye on eBay but nothing ever appears. I haven’t spoken to my AD yet but I know the bracelet is very expensive (I’m in the UK and it will be £500+). Can anyone recommend anything else? I don’t really want a 3rd party bracelet. I tried the Forstner flat link but it didn’t work for me. Thanks
You will probably need to suck it up and buy it from an AD/OB. Even if you found one on eBay, I can't imagine it would be much less.
There is an Aqua Terra bracelet for sale in our parts section https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-bracelet-strap-and-deploy.140008/#post-1922276
This is NOT a 2021 Aqua Terra bracelet, not even for 41mm case. I think AD / OB is the only option, or you must wait until maybe some occasional sales appears.
You can also call Omega's customer service number for your country and buy it directly. Email first to get the part number, the parts sales people would rather have that to get rid of you faster.
I found one on eBay having bought the AT on leather in 2019. Cost me £400 late 2019. Not sure of the OB price but I was happy to pay what I did for a mint copy. That bracelet also fits my 3861 Speedmaster although I bought an Uncle Seiko 1450 that I use on the speedy when I want to.
Hi Gerry, for a matter of interest, is your AT the new version with the date at 6 and the 41mm or 38mm size?
Thanks Gerry, I'm deciding whether to buy new AT or 2nd hand version with date at 3 - I hate polished links and prefer a 1450 presidential so firming up my strap/bracelet options before I pull the pin.
Yeah I rarely use the bracelet to be honest. A little too shiny. I wanted blue and new and that one ticked the boxes. There's a few variants, without the blue on the dial and another with a blue seconds hand I think. I fell in love with the one I got. A second hand one would probably be better value but for me it was my first Omega and I wanted it new. Didn't need to see any other variations. Take your time and enjoy the hunt however you decide to approach it. Let us all know how you get on. G
