Strapped in New Jersey... *PIC*

I went to my Authorized Dealer today and was disappointed to find out that the tan alligator strap w/deployment clasp that I saw on the Broad Arrow (20mm) is not available in for my 120 (18mm). (Derek, I know you warned me.) I went through the entire catalog of straps and didn't even see any leather Seamaster straps at all, only rubber. Can that be right? The 120 is supposed to be a dress watch; you think they'd offer a leather option. Perhaps my dealer's catalog was incomplete. If I can't go with an Omega strap, I could always just get the deployment clasp and put it on another brand strap. Does anyone know if other brands make straps for use with deployment clasps? I'd hate to have to trim off the loops if I don't have to.

I've attached a picture of the BA strap I'm looking for.
