Quote on Moonwatch strap

Just a quick question. Asked my AD for a price on ordering an OEM Omega black alligator strap with deployant for my Speedmaster Moonwatch. They came back with $360 for the strap and $250 for the deployant ($610 total). Before I give them the go-ahead to order, does this price sound about right? Thanks!

That sounds about right. You would pay the same price if you were buying from an Omega boutique.

It's the correct price despite being highway robbery.

Sounds about right . Was at OB last week and inquired about cordura strap plus deployant and was around $500

Sounds right, which I find it kind of expensive considering I just paid 680 euros for the bracelet at the boutique (Speedy Racing with micro adjustable clasp).

It is expensive but I love that deployant and just think that gator strap looks amazing on it.

Just an update. Finally put the OEM alligator strap on my Moonwatch since we are starting to get into the cooler months. Yes this strap is expensive but the quality is top notch. The strap itself is gorgeous with a beautiful matte-semiglossy black color. The texture of the gator hide gives it such a classic look. The deployant clasp is of the level we all expect from Omega. Overall very happy with the setup even though it came at a cost. The Moonwatch is such a fun watch to change out straps and bracelets. New personality every time.

Thank you

The strap is breaking in nicely. Extrememly comfortable on leather. I forget I'm wearing it a lot of times.

This is one of those setups that works as well with a dress shirt as it does with shorts and a t-shirt.

Very happy camper so far

The strap looks great. I think the Omega strap are some of the best on the market.
