Omega Speedmaster bracelet help
Hi guys,
I am looking to get a bracelet for my Omega Speedmaster 311.32.42.30.13.001. This is the sapphire sandwich with the brown dial. I am thinking of something similar to what is on the 3573.50 Firstly, is this the right bracelet i.e. will it fit? If so, what is it called (model number)? And where can I get this for a fair price. My budget is around $600 - am I dreaming? Otherwise, what are my alternatives? Thanks Greg |

You can look up omega speedmaster band or bracelet on ebay and you might be able to find some decent ones.
The current references that look like the one on 3573 is 1998 849. You could also use 1998 840. Good luck. |

600 is plenty for a great condition bracelet. That model should be the 1998/849
can probably find one in the 400-450 area |

You should be able to find a mint, used one in the $300 to $350 price range. I've sold ones with regular use/scratches on them for $250.

A few years back I bought a new takeoff 1998/840 (owner never used it as he prefered a leather strap) on WUS for $240 shipped.
