Has anyone on the board ordered and received the short rubber strap from Omega? If so, how long did it take? I had my AD order the blue one (without pin buckle) as I was able to negotiate a bit on price, but it’s been 5 weeks now. I was quoted 3-4 weeks when inquiring directly at Swatch Group, AD states that Omega’s standard line is “4-6 weeks.” Part number is O032CVZ010484.

My AD just checked on the Black Rubber strap today (with pin buckle) and was told 6-8 weeks for the strap and the pin buckles would be in around the end of September. Yuck!

I’ve heard 2-3 weeks! What are the size differences between short, medium and long? Cheers

Thanks for the input. Was this just for the normal sized black rubber strap though? I wonder if the short has a longer lead time for some strange reason. I will post back when mine eventually arrives.

No way on the 2-3 weeks. I'm nearly double that estimate already. I cannot comment on the size differences...just know that I will need a shorter strap so I'm not using the last hole.

Honestly 2-3 weeks, call the omega team. Sizes are as follows - S - 10.5/11cm M - 11.5/12cm L - 12.5/13cm.
There is approximately a 1cm difference according to omega, (I am not sure you would ever notice that) why do you not want to use the last hole?

Thanks. I was not claiming that you were intentionally giving out false information, but rather that Omega's estimate on the shipping time is not correct (in my case at least). When I asked Omega directly I was told, and I quote, "This is on backorder 3-4 weeks after the order is placed." My AD was then told 4-6 weeks. AD placed the order on May 1st (just over 5 weeks ago).

I don't want to use the last hole as the watch wears a bit looser than I'd like when my wrist gets cold. If there were one additional hole it'd be perfect. I like a very snug fit and have a small wrist.

Yeah, that was for the standard length strap.

I prefer the shorter strap when available because with a small wrist, I can punch holes in a regular strap and make it work, but then I've got all of that extra material hanging around.

OP, if I may ask, what is the cost of the strap?

Omega quoted $250 but I negotiated $230 at my AD.

Sure thing. I should reiterate that this is short strap only - no pin buckle.

At long last I received and installed my OEM short blue rubber strap. It fits perfectly! I still can't get over that it took NINE WEEKS to obtain.

Great combo. That really makes that watch pop!

Looks great what did you do about the pin buckle?
Thanks. I removed the pre-existing pin buckle from my regular length (stock) strap and affixed it to the short strap.

Do you have the part number of the long version in blue?

Would be great!
