: I was quite torn on which Seamaster Pro
: America's Cup to get. So I inquired to Omega
: about the Rubber Strap and here's the reply:
: Dear Keith,

: Thank you for your inquiry on your Omega watch.
: The rubber strap without a clasp for that
: model is part number 98000037021. The cost
: on the strap is $147.00 plus shipping and
: taxes. You may order this band by prepayment
: of a credit card via email or by contacting
: us at 1-800-456-5354 ext 3037. Please refer
: to the part number provided when ordering.
: Thank you,

: Steve R,

: SGCS (U.S.)

: I called to confirm the price and availability.
: He said it was on backorder. I also asked
: about the SS clasp. According to Steve R. it
: is part number 94521803025 and retails at
: $114.50. OUCH. I ordered it through my
: dealer who gave me a discount. Steve R said
: the backorder would take 3-5 weeks. It took
: about a month.

:

: I was a little disappointed when I opened the
: package, but I put it on anyways. I am
: thrilled with it now. It is a totally
: different look. The rubber is smooth and
: dry. it is thinner than I expected, but it
: works. There is plenty of room. Sized about
: the same as the bracelets. There are no 1/2
: links or micro adjustment.

: The stitching in the last pic looks blue
: however, it is actually black. Also, I put
: my strap on backwards, but it still works
: and I have decided to leave it.

: I believe this is the same strap we will see on
: the new models (needs to be confirmed with
: Omega). The Seamaster FAQ indicates this
: will come in blue. I have not tried to
: confirm or deny this.
