    Hi,

    I'm looking for a cheap bracelet for my 105.002. I think originally it is the ref 7912 that goes with it but I do not mind if the replacement is not strictly like the 7912. Anyone has an idea ? Thanks !

    Damien

    Tough crowd!
    I think the OP would be well served by a modern 1125 bracelet with 617 ends (19mm) . Seems to be the preferred way to go as opposed to the less expensive 1171 bracelet probably because the 1171 is designed for 20mm links and a little wider than the 1125 at the top and so may overstep the line of the lugs slightly. Can be bought via Ofrei or maybe second hand for a bit less--unfortunately Omega has really jacked up the price of their vintage-style bracelets (and vintage replacement parts in general) in recent years.
    Good luck,
    T.

    Thanks, that's the kind of answer I was waiting for ! So, first step mesh and in a second time a 1125 / 617 seems to be a good solution. Thank you.

    Is there any love for the Staib mesh? It may not be vintage but they look like great bands to me.

    I'm on the lookout still for a JB champion. Missed out on one on ebay a few days ago as I forgot it was ending.

    No one got any idea about the dark brown leather strap on @richardew speedy above? Is it a Hadley Roma perhaps?

    I run mine on a mix of JB Champion, leather straps and sometimes Omega bracelets. I spent some time on the weekend swapping them around.

    It went surprisingly cheap too. I might have had the winning bid, but only found out after that the seller would not ship to Canada........SO bloody annoying.
