Agree! You don't have to get an "Omega" labelled strap, but Omega deployment clasps are out there if you really want it to look OEM. Hirsch is a very popular brand of leather straps.
Thanks for the link. Hopefully I can find a place in San Antonio that has a nice selection so I can try on a bunch of different models.
