Have any of you seen this?

I don't know if it is a good deal but I like the look...

Don't love the look, and really don't love the price, but our Omega guys can comment better on that. :think:

Not my style as far as Speedmasters and the price is quite high compared to this new one on Chrono24.com

I wanted that cordura strap so badly for my Speedy. I called the FAD to order it and he told me it was 20mm. I gave him my credit card and he told me it would take a few weeks.

I week later I'm in Tourneau and see this watch, so I ask to try it on. The strap is awesome, but looked a little narrow to be a 20. I flip the watch over to see the back of the strap, and to my horror, it was marked 19mm.
:crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:


I haven't been wearing my Speedy too much lately, and thought this strap would help rekindle the love affair. Now I'm thinking about going with an Omega mesh.

I think it looks pretty good. Its the bitch size right as compared to the manual version?

I certainly wouldn't pay that, but thought the look was different...

I think that panda style chronos look a lot better with two registers. I am a huge Omega guy, and my Speedy Pro is one of my faves. But, I don't really dig that one. It looks a bit off somehow. Some shots of it actually on strap might make it come together? Dunno.

I'll have to rate that one..... :popcorn:
