I enjoyed learning about this with ya sir! With the three you have in that beautiful wrap I like the White Shark the best. But to me… the 2200.50 is the most beautiful Omega! THATS just me. Thanks again!
Thank you for your kind words, the white one is truly amazing, any chance you saw my James Bond 60th anniversary Seamaster? That is a hell of a watch! Your refefence 2200.50 is that a big planet ocean version with 45.5mm? You support in terms of a sub is much appreciated! Have a great evening and dont be affraid to ask or comment!
@@Watchmeifyoucan no I have not seen that video about the 60th Bond edition but I will!!! Honestly I’m really interested in that one! It’s just BEAUTIFUL
What a pain in the rear this was. My watch came with a special rubber tool for this, but learning to pull on the bracelet at the same time was the trick to learn.
Hi! Do you know if it is necessary to change the springbars to replace a metal bracelet with a NATO strap? Can the original springbars be used for both straps?
Just make sure you're using minimum 1.8 mm diameter spring bars. Watches originally come with 1.5 mm or thinner bars, which are not strong enough for NATO or other nylon straps.
Thanks for the video, can you make a video or let me know which tool I need to use the resize the bracelet? I have other resizing tool for other watches but they don’t work for the Omega
🙏 Thanks for your comment, I can try to make a video about it, yet it will be a first time for me as well, I usually adjust my bracelet at Omega upon purchasing the watch. I have a tool called IFIXIT (.com) and it seems to work for me fine, check out their website! I use this tool for everything in my household.
I have just bought this watch with the stainless steel bracelet. I would love to have the rubber strap as well. How did you purchase the second strap as omega's website does not have them listed?
Hi Charlie, meaning you have a great white in your collection or you stayed until the end of the video and saw my great white seamaster? :) Thanks for the comment 🙏 Have a wonderful day, please make sure you check my other videos too.
They are an absolute nightmare to attach. Getting the first pin installed is relatively easy, but I can understand why you didn't film the second pin. @3:30
You mean this? zealande.com/products/zealande-spring-bar-tool?variant=39453221355699 I actually got mine complimentary from the Boutique. Thanks for commenting.
Blue is the classic colour so I can absolutely relate to this! ❤️if you like blue check my latest video about my silver snoopy speedmaster that has an amazing blueish colour!
Honest opinion appreciate it! Yes many brands start to do quick release functions like Rado, Longines and Hamilton. Although I am not sure whether by Rolex it is any better… Have a nice day!
@@Watchmeifyoucan I’ll elaborate for him … You pull the bracelet out laterally when the spring bars are detached. This will scratch the tips of the lugs which is visible. Instead, push the clasp up with a finger at the back and under of the clasp. This will push clasp up vertically and if there are any scratches, it will Be at the back of the lug and not visible when the watch is worn. Also, always best to tape the lugs for safety in case tool or spring bars slip out. Take 1 minutes I prefer using spring bar pliers (especially when putting the bracelet back on but omega spring bars have a single collar and it can be hard for the pliers to get a good grip. Thanks.
@@marcn8750 thanks for the tricks and hints, considering I did the very first time the removal myself, how bad I was performing? ;) I take the suggestions by you for the future tho, good to learn something new and thanks for sharing this with me.
@@Watchmeifyoucan it was quite bad. The objective is not to just remove the bracelet. It’s to remove the bracelet safely. With no damage to the watch. Anyway, good to learn new things. Tele care and best wishes ☀️
Thanks for your help, after a bit of fiddling I managed to swap the rubber strap for the stainless steel bracelet again. (green Seaweed)

I tried for a few minutes to get the steel strap off but I’m going to visit the jewellery tomorrow 😂
Once you get the trick it is fairly easy :)
This video just saved me so much stress. Thank you

Thanks for posting, very helpful! I have the white 300M, and just bought a red rubber strap (to match the Seamaster logo). Not a fan of the bracelet
I really wanted a white rubber strap but this red seems a good idea 👍 where did you get the red strap from? Thanks for 🙏 watching

Good question I don’t know, I just swapped them, but I will check after my holidays and get back to you whether they look the same…

Check my video Daytrip to Omega Boutique Zürich ;) - Boutique sells the Strap and the Folding Clasp.
@@Watchmeifyoucan thank you!
@@glennjersey you are welcome here the link to video czcams.com/video/oMA1kW6iz7Q/video.html
If you devide the bracelet on two pieces before install it or uninstall it it is way easier.
That is a good idea! For IWC for example it is pretty cool do so as it has the quick demontage feature! Thanks for commenting ❤️
I spent 30 minutes trying to put the rubber straps on and quit and put the steel bracelet back on.
It is not easy the first time but once you get the drill it is doable just fine :)
The clasp on rubber strap, is it its default clasp?😅

13:18 it answers your question there is the Omega receipt of both strap and folding clasp ;)
thank you GREAT WHITE

You can buy or get one in a Boutique, I did the latter. Thanks for commenting. 🙏

Believe it or not I did it the first time :) thats why the video is authentic :) first try documented live :) but yes I had trouble with it… :)
Zealande is selling spring bar pliers for Omega.

@@Watchmeifyoucan Yep, Omega provided me with a spring bar tool for free with purchase of a strap.
@@seavee2190 cool tool :) need to get one too :)
What is the lug width?
Lug to lug 49.9mm Between lugs 20mm Case diameter 42mm Thickness 13.6mm
I prefer the blue dial.

@@Watchmeifyoucan I did and very impressed 👌
@@SharonD369 Thank you! 🙏 Any suggestions for me what I should do better? Or what content to create in the future?
Beginner!
One gotta start somewhere, right? :) you have some suggestions? Have a wonderful day further.
Omegas are the worst watches ever for changing straps.
Honest opinion appreciate it! Yes many brands start to do quick release functions like Rado, Longines and Hamilton. Although I am not sure whether by Rolex it is any better… Have a nice day!
Try resizing the bracelet. THIS is the worst.
Oh dear, oh dear, I won’t be following that procedure. Keep well.
Dare to elaborate? :) keep well too!
@@Watchmeifyoucan I’ll elaborate for him …
You pull the bracelet out laterally when the spring bars are detached. This will scratch the tips of the lugs which is visible.
Instead, push the clasp up with a finger at the back and under of the clasp. This will push clasp up vertically and if there are any scratches, it will
Be at the back of the lug and not visible when the watch is worn.
