Just wanted to share my experience ordering an Omega bracelet.
This year, I bought a 145.022 with a leather strap on it. Did some research on aftermarket options, but ultimately decided to call my local Omega boutique just for an estimate. I gave them my serial #, and they used their database to match it to a 1171/1 bracelet with 633 end links. According to the boutique, it’s the original bracelet for the serial + ref number. I went ahead and ordered it, then came in 12 days (they noted 2-4 weeks, but it was faster).
The boutique asked for $560. Brand new! They installed & sized it as well. Great experience. IMO, it’s worth saving a bit more to get an original omega bracelet.
I’ve read certain newer bracelets are not as comfortable, have no micro adjustments, or don’t taper. Can’t speak enough on the quality of this 1171- silky smooth, light, and so comfortable to wear. And the vintage bracelet jingle is a real thing! It’s awesome! No regrets saving a bit more to buy a genuine bracelet. Completely transforms the watch.
