I really hope someone here can help me out with this. I need an OEM rubber strap for an Omega 2254.50 (blk SMP). I've looked all over the internet and nothing. The closest I came was on ofrei.com but theirs was X-long

and one on ebay, but ebay scares the hell out of me. The closest Omega AD in my area is an hour or so away, so I was hoping to find one on the net. Does anyone have any idea's?
Thanks guys

They seem to be all priced at $395.00

I also did a search using the keywords "Omega 98000085".

Vernon, you're the best, bro. Thanks

You wouldn't be looking for a job as a Detective in Atlantic City, would you?

It would seem one would have to moonlight doing something to afford a $350 rubber strap

!!! And I thought our Oyster bracelets were expensive... At least SS has a lifetime of many tens of years, and more if properly cleaned now and again. Rubber, on the other hand, is prone to fatigue failures and UV deterioration. It's a given that it will need replacing multiple times in the lifetime of the watch. Surely, this isn't a case of cost of mfg. plus reasonable profit, reasonable being the key word. Personally, I'd have a pretty big issue paying $350 for a rubber strap regardless of its construction.

I'm sure the strap has just as high of a mark up margin as our watches. But, like the watch, I like the strap enough to get one. You can bet your ass I'll try and grab one for a lot less than three or four bills, but it just looks great on the watch, so I will end up with one. For how much? That remains to be seen. But, you're right, that is a lot more than I was expecting
