FYI
I bought two of the OME-98000085 straps from Ofrei (dirty rotten savages) on sale... Since Ofrei doesn't put things on sale unless they discontinue them I suspect this means the beginning of the end of Omega parts supplies from watch supply houses... (Just starting a nasty rumor) Seriously though the last time Ofrei had a sale it was on Rolex parts when they quite selling to supply houses...
Anyway... Both of my straps fit all three of my full sized seamasters with the factory springbars without any trouble at all. I thought they might almost be a little loose on my 2254.50 but they fit perfectly...
I also noticed the texture of my straps appears a bit different than the texture of the straps in Stew's pics! Not sure if that means anything or not...
Thanks for the additional detail Chris!!! I had hoped someone that had ordered direct from Ofrei could comment on their experience!!!...and your comments regarding the easy fit with the standard spring bars is very helpful indeed!!! I had read so much different information out there regarding the Omega rubber that I didn't know what to think...it seemed like everyone had a different experience.
Yours is obviously the 'real deal'...mine very likely, not so much. Even at a 'dirty rotten savage' sale price of $191 including buckle, these are still pretty pricey for the real deal.
Looks like great quality rubber though!!...Thanks again Chris!!
