Ted if you got it from Omega AD and you are pissed
about the bracelet ,Then i would return it to them
or better sill take it to your local swatch group
repair office with your red warranty card and tell
them the watch has the wrong band on it.
There is a good chance they will replace it with
official bracelet.
If you didn't get it from AD then you are stuck
with it.
Enjoy you omega it looks great.
