Looking to buy an OEM Omega mesh bracelet for my 300M while trying to avoid paying $900 plus tax. Any suggestions? Not interested in aftermarket bracelets. Thanks

unless you can find someone selling a used one online, your cheapest option is still likely Omega (online, AD, boutique). Lots of fakes out there for sale on eBay for lower prices, so know what to look for.

There are really good aftermarket bracelets out there. I own both aftermarket and OEM and I can't tell the two apart other than the logo. If I had known I never would have bought the OEM.

If you want OEM you have to pay Omega's asking price.

Seems you found a good aftermarket option then - which one would you recommend?

Staib make good quality mesh bracelets, in particular the ones made in Germany. Some of their bracelets made in China, so you have to check the country of origin (though the price is probably a giveaway). The German-made ones are heavy and somewhat thick like the Omega OEM. I personally do not like that style, as it limits their curvature and, thus, their ability to fit on my 15 cm wrist. But they are a good substitute for the OEM.

When they first come out, loved the look. Got an aftermarket one (thicker weave) and loved the look Got an OEM one and theym weave was the same, but the clasp was the issue. Too long with an odd curve to it. Have a 17cm flat wrist so it never fit correctly, left an odd gap. Wish the clasp was designed differently. They work if you have a rounder wrist.

Sold my OEM one to a fellow OF member who loved it.

If you want the OEM, you're gonna have to go through Omega themselves. If you want an alternative, the best is Arroway. It tapers from 20mm to 16mm (OEM tapers to 18 mm), and has an adjustable clasp. It is also made in Germany.

Plenty of people on Instagram have this mesh bracelet on their Seamasters, and many other brands as well. I think it's the best you can get besides OEM, especially if the OEM mesh doesn't fit you properly.
