Vintage geneva bracelet/strap
Hi I won an old Omega geneva 1030cal on eBay for a steal of a price. The watch runs perfect and case is in good shape.. the dial is showing signs of patina or something else.. I don't think it's water damage as the movement is exceptionally clean.
However my biggest problem is the bracelet is absolutely battered. Is it too far gone for restoration? Any suggestions for a replacement. Are there any leather alternatives as the lug width is only about 9.5mm. This is my 1st omega watch.

Michael Young might be able to get it in much better shape.

Yes I've heard his name around the rolex section. From having a good search on the Web I don't think restoring the bracelet will have a justifiable cost compared to the value of the watch. I'll try and hunt down a genuine replacement.
