I'll be picking up an Omega Seamaster Bumper Wind in Stainless Steel on Monday, that has a brand new black crocodile grain leather strap. I know some of you had appreciated my effort in the past with my Movado, Tempo-Matic on dark brown Crocodile Strap. However this time,I've been racking my brain in trying to determine the best route to take without breaking the bank. I would prefer a Bead Of Rice Omega Bracelet,but the price of one is out of my reach. I've looked at ZRC aftermarket replacement bracelets,which are of fairly high quality,but some of them are a bit too modern looking,for a 1954 vintage watch. The described watch is identical to the image below... Any suggestions would be most welcome. Size: 36mm x 40mm Lugs: 18mm Attachment: Omega Seamaster Bumper Wind.jpeg (Downloaded 54 times) |

I agree Simon, with the look of the aftermarkets not meshing well with the vintage. I cant vouch for their merchandise but I've been told cool watch straps has vintage items ...give 'em a look...I love that Omega! |

I had a vintage Eterna that came on a beads of rice bracelet that didn't fit. I went with German mesh and I loved it. http://lonestarwatches.com/3.2Mesh.htm |

Great looking watch Simon  IMO I would stay with a strap, personally i like the vintage watches better on straps then bracelets  what color is up to you, I think that watch would look great on a black or brown strap...CONGRATS on a great snag |

+1 If it was my choice; I'd leave that on leather. Black or brown would both look great. Congratulations on finding that one! Last edited on Sat Mar 13th, 2010 11:00 am by natevan70 |
