Everywhere I read, everyone says I should get the PO on a bracelet. Well, fantastic. I will. If only because I know that buying the bracelet separately doesn't make much financial sense.

However... if I do buy it on a bracelet... how much can I expect to spend on an original rubber strap? And where would I be able to get it?

Thanks.

Order your PO from my AD and get a deal on a strap as well.

I agree

Yep, get in touch with Fr. John and his FAD for sure! You won't be disappointed. Cheers, Bill P.

I was considering a Pre-Owned one, but a phone call doesn't hurt. :)

What's their info?

I went the same route, getting it with the bracelet and then acquiring the rubber strap. I got my strap through the Otto Frei website. Strap (OME-98000144) was $192; buckle (OME-9451-2022) was $22; and the spring bars (OME Springbar 03) were a few bucks each. Note that the rubber strap takes different springbars than the bracelet. Also, these item numbers are for the 42 mm PO. Very satisfactory transaction.

+1 for the "FAD"--I purchased my PO from him back in February. Excellent to deal with.

Get it on the bracelet and buy the strap separately (as said above)

Haggled with cash and got the tang and buckle rubber strap included.

Not so satisfactory for your pocket, You have paid 212 $ for a strap you can buy from any omega boutique (boutique= zero discount) for 135$

H.W. Frank · 9 August 2010, 10:27 PM

Even assuming the $135 quote is correct, $200 and change was well worth it for the speed and ease of the transaction. Don't know about you, but that's worth $70 bucks in my book.
