: quoting a replacement cost of £187 for the
: strap alone!

Just by taking a look at a picture of the 1847.55.11, it seems like it can only take custom bands.... That may be the case or not (I'm not an expert and haven't found a good pic of the lugs). I looked at www.ofrei.com (the main online supplier of aftermarket Omega parts) and their prices for watch bands are quite similar (around $140)......

I provided the link in case you're interested.

You may be able to find cheapo bands, but again, I don't know how the lugs are made.....

Good Luck!
