Mine actually came from Chris Ward, and cost $125. Shipping was free, if I remember correctly. I thought that was a pretty good deal, considering fake Omega deployants are selling on fleabay for more $. The strap is shell cordovan, has no logo on the outside, fit and finish are excellent, and looks like it was made for my Speedy:

Funny, I despise deployant clasps. The clasp adds way too much bulk to the strap and to me they are much more finicky to put on. Give me a classic tang buckle any day...

Right there with you. I'm always switching between two holes on most of my straps. Deployants are much too bothersome to resize on the fly for my liking. I do agree that they look nice, though.

Spring bars for bracelets are slightly shorter than those for straps, even though both are for 20 mm lugs. Bracelet bars are 068ST2207, and for straps are 068ST2208.

deployants
Thanks for the correct description, don't mean to be condescending (it's hard to look down when you are as low as me!) but deployment refers to troops and deployant to watch buckles.

What's really odd is that I dropped one, found a spring bar on the floor, yet I only have 1 that is the proper length. So it looks like the spring bar I found had been down there a while, and the one I dropped this morning is still on the floor somewhere.
Lol, I’ve been there!

Using the Omega tool that's bundled with the moonwatch. I can get a Burgeon tool, but you'd think from Omega would be all right (it used to be... until today).
Tool that's bundled with the moonwatch? I have two and didn't get one. edit- Picked up my new FOIS and she gave me the real Omega springbar tool.
