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.

FYI

I have never had any business with any of the companies or sellers listed below. They are listed below to give the OP info on where to find what they are seeking and current market prices.

http://www.ofrei.com/page1280.html $746.00

http://www.swisswatchery.com/watch-b...spprstbr1.html $575.00

https://www.rolexforums.com/archive/.../t-204816.html sold for $400 on 11/22/11

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-1990s-...item5894a218e2 Up for Bid, as of 02:14 PST: $535.55 + $27.50 shipping

Here on TRF, Puffy has had Rolex bracelets for sale. You may want to PM him and ask about an Omega 1998/849.

Buy the seller...
