Dealer is quoting me $694 w/o tax for the OEM blue rubber strap for the 38mm AT including the strap, 2 end lug SS pieces, and the deployant clasp. AD says no discount off those. Is this worth it?
It hasn’t been worth it for me but I’m interested to hear what you end up doing. BTW, there are third party 20 mm knockoff straps on eBay for a lot less.

Is this worth it?

Only you can answer this question. It is not the cheapest strap for sure but do you want a cheap strap on a fine watch? The only thing I can tell you is that the OEM rubber strap I have on my Aqua Terra is the most comfortable strap I own (and I have quite a few ; ) It is a great option, especially for the warmer months and gives the watch a whole new look and feel. From my point of view: Yes, it is worth it.

I’ve asked this before on the forum so please forgive me but does anyone know if the new speedy 3861 bracelets will fit on a AT41?

That's a total personal choice. I personally love the rubber strap. I'll post some pics of my AT on the rubber a little later when I'm back home from work. If you already have the bracelet, why not add it! Definitely fun to wear during the spring/summer months. It is extremely light and comfortable.

I appreciate everyone’s input. I do have the SS original bracelet. Fits nicely and looks swell but it’s susceptible to scratches. I wouldn’t compromise on any other rubber strap for this watch. I live in a tropical climate so the rubber strap is a logical choice for a daily Were it not for the price I would buy it in the blink of an eye. Risking being a cheapskate does Omega discount these accesories? They told me no.

Just on the topic of the Aqua Terra Seamaster range (quartz). I bought a second hand one about 2 years ago (now sold on) and at the time of shopping online for one, I ended up haggling on price with a seller whilst comparing it with another one I was potentially buying and he pointed out a very interesting point about the Aqua Terra range, which was really obvious once he mentioned it.
His Aqua Terra was slightly older than the other one I was looking at, but he pointed out his version had the raised pointers on the watch face and the other one had flat pointers, which looked like they had been painted on.

I bought his with the raised pointers because it looked so so much better and gives the watch that extra depth. I was so happy he mentioned it, as I would never have noticed.

I assume Omega decided to change this for some unknown reason. To me it looked like cut backs on quality whilst still increasing the price.

Just a observation I wanted to share.
