Currently my Oris is on its original leather strap, which is now very worn and about to fall apart (please excuse the rubbish photo):




So, since it needs replacing, I thought I'd go for a stainless steel bracelet as I find them much more comfortable. This is what the official stainless steel version looks like:



Being a student, I don't fancy spending £100s on an original Oris bracelet, so if anybody could recommend me a decent quality alternative and post some links, that would be great. Just to complicate things, the lug size is an awkward 19mm.

Cheers!

Is the watch gold? It looks so in the pic. Don't you think a stainless strap on a gold watch would look odd?

CmdrBond - thanks for the links, will check them out

Jonboy - although it looks slightly gold in the picture, it is in fact stainless steel. The case is the same colour as the one in my last photo.
