Omega leather straps.

[Mr MoJo]

I have a slight problem. Recently I have started to get an irritation around my left wrist, under where my watch sits. After about a month of trial and error, swapping watches etc I have discovered that the Croc strap on my Railmaster Chrono is the cause of the itchy red raw inflamed wrist !! (I have purposely worn other watches for 2 weeks and all inflamation disappeared, wore it for 12 hours yesterday and itchy inflamed wrist has returned today ) I have looked on various strap sellers sites, found a few straps of different prices but all seem to come with buckles or deployant clasps and I am not too clued up on who makes good straps etc. I fancied a Toshi but they all look way too chunky for this particualr watch.

Ideally I'd like to keep the dark brown croc look but just want to buy a good quality strap that I can fit my existing Omega deployant clasp too. (Will this only fit an Omega strap?).

What do people recommend, and is it possible to get an original Omega croc strap to fit my existing clasp onto.

Cheers for any help.

Have a look here http://www.ofrei.com/page748.html

Cheers Harry, had a look there earlier but they won't export leather straps outside of the US for some reason. Shame as that was exactly what I was looking for. Nobody seems to supply them through UK sites, may have to go to AD when I get the chance if I can't find any alternative.

Don't waste money buying branded straps.

At least as good quality available here http://www.watchworx.co.uk/

and probably better quality here http://www.watch-band-center.com/shop-watchstrap.h...

You Omega deployant will fit any strap of the correct size - Probably 20mm at the lug end tapering to 18mm. but have a check before ordering.

Frei wont export crocodile and such like, as theyre not allowed to. Leather straps arent restricted: Ive bought one myself.

Thanks for the help gents, the Watchworx site seems to have exactly what I'm looking for so will get my order in when they re-open in the new year

Look in my current UK repairers/rstorers and there are 6 sites that are worth looking at.
