Awkward using Omega Deployant on Rolex?

Would you guys do this? Use an Omega Deployant with a leather strap on a GMT master? I really like the design and look of the deployant.

Agreed, I like to try to keep things OEM and not mix brands.

Rolex has some leather deployants but might me precious metals and Expensive.

Thanks. I can purchase a generic omega type deployant but I already have a spare one (omega) so I might as well :)

If you were able to obtain a Rolex one that would be my first choice, but if it fits I would do it in second. Just personal opinion I would rather use an omega strap instead of some cheap no name. Nothing wrong with those just not my style.

if you like it, why not? omega makes some very nice bands and the deployment is not noticeable to others.

your watch you can do as you wish, but if comes a point you meet another WIS and show them your watch, your going to feel awkward trying to explain.

Would you put a Chevy grill on a Ford truck? Pepsi in a coke cup?
Basically these two particular brands are rivals, and mixing the two is just not right.....
