Congrats on your watch, got the exact same model a moth back from inTime and I'm loving it, the perfect everyday wear watch.

I'm going to second the recommendation of the rubber strap, looks awesome and feels fantastic to wear.

Thanks everyone!

I actually ordered the black rubber strap with orange stitching, last week on DHGate. It should arrive late January. Totally agree that these 3 different straps make the watch very versatile and 3 very different looks. (Thanks for the recommendation on the tan leather strap. I will have a look around for that one and maybe even a black leather strap too)

I also ordered a watch tool kit on amazon. The correct tools make sizing & changing bands so much easier
Cheers!

after awhile - as I got better at ordering reps - I started to include additional straps from TDs with my order. It just made it easier for me. And, like you - I ordered watch repair kits from Amazon as well and learned how to change straps and make minor adjustments- just watch out for scratching the watch when learning how to swap out straps. I didn’t pay attention and scratched the crap out of a couple of my watches. Have fun

Watch looks great with the tan strap. Thanks for sharing and I will check out Etsy. If you don't mind me asking, what did you search to ensure you got the branded clasp? 20mm Tan Omega leather strap?

I might look for a loop on Amazon to help avoid the scratches. The screws in the band were very small when I was sizing it for my wrist. I rigged up my iphone using the magnifying glass feature to use the 1.7mm Screw driver to remove and insert the tiny screws and had good success.

Other TD's did include the rubber strap but the watch was ~$100 USD more and I was able to get the band for $40 CAD including shipping on DHGate (even ended up buying a rep Mont Blanc pen too hahaha)

I just searched omega Aqua Terra leather strap on Etsy and it came up. DHGate would probably have them as well. On the straps - they all said 100 extra bucks. I just asked if hey could do it for 50 and they said yes. You are smart to find better deals on DHGate ,Aliexpress , Etsy - I’m just too lazy.

Very sharp and agree with some others that the black rubber with orange stictching would really work nicely. Can I ask your wrist size and is the watch a 41? Thx!

Hey Mike

I did order the black rubber band with orange stitching and I have already swapped the bands out. Both bands are great but I have a Gen Tag Aqua Racer and I just picked a Rep DJ with a jubilee band so I have enough stainless bands.

The Aqua Terra is a 41 mm and my wrist is 7 inches

The picture doesn't accurately show the real orange colour on the band. It is orange not rust looking
