: I suspect that price included the Omega factory
: deployant buckle, which fits Omega's premium
: alligator straps. Most straps cost around
: $200 US, and the buckle is about another
: $200. 230 UK pounds sounds outgrageous just
: for the strap alone.
: Basically, any 20mm strap will fit your watch,
: and there are lots of online shops you can
: look at (including ebay). You can save money
: by using a generic tang buckle rather than
: paying for a deployant buckle, though
: aftermarket deployants can be had for far
: less than the $200 Omega charges. I've seen
: some really nice ones for sale in the $75
: range.
: In some instances, animal skin straps can't be
: shipped from one country to another, so I
: think your best bet is to do a google search
: to find some online shops in the UK that
: sell watch straps. Also check out ebay, as
: there are some good buys there as well. You
: just have to be sure to get a 20mm strap,
: since this is the width of the strap at the
: lugs of the 2254.50.
: Good luck,
: John
