I have an Omega 3870.50.31 that originally came on an OEM alligator strap. I'd like to put a steel bracelet on it. Will Omega sell me a their bracelet from the 3570.50.00 even though technically these watches are two different reference numbers?

Thank you in advance.

Yes. The .31 designation just indicates it came on a strap. With that said, consider an aftermarket bracelet from Uncle Seiko or Forstner. I have found they are significantly more comfortable than the old OEM bracelet and cheaper to boot.

Thank you. I will give them a look.

Out of curiosity will the newer screw bracelet from
311.30.42.30.01.005 fit onto the 3570?

Yes, it will. And also a more classy one directly from Omega, the 1171/633 which is an considerable option to the new bracelets or the US or Fostner alternatives. At least to me 😀
