As above, what do you think would look better on a 3861 sapphire?

Think I might prefer the contrast stitching with the 20/18 size.

Thanks!
The one with the white stitching is FIRE...

The question is more about your preferred tapering and corresponding clasp size… love the white stitching but the 18mm deployant clasp looks huge on my wrist…

I don't know if this is true or not but @Duckie previously posted (Aug '21) that the Snoopy strap with the white stiching is restricted now because it is a specific strap only used on the Snoopy 45th. It's available on an exchange basis only. Sounds overly restrictive but Omega does some strange stuff.

In Geneva boutique they recently told me you have to order it but no restriction whatsoever…

That's good to know👍
I hope that the person who sold me mine was mistaken but they made special mention of it's restricted nature and that me being able to walk in and order it was not supposed to happen ordinarily because the strap was for a limited edition watch but it was a mistake on their part so they'd let this one go.
Actually they extrapolated upon the story when I pursued the reasoning behind it because it was in the catalogue.
Their explanation was it's a brand new store and they had simply populated a stock list from another store when setting it up and the part number of that strap formed part of a list of things that had historically been a seller over the counter.
It was also in their printed catalogue of straps which is where I was able to pick it out from and that's how we were able to get the part number for ordering it.
When they put the part number into the system for ordering, it came up as in-stock and I was able to pay and run off with it.
I may have even been the first person to buy a strap out of the catalogue at the store as it was only open a couple of days prior.
The Deployant clasp had to be ordered in though😉

Maybe things have changed since then where policy is more relaxed or sales of it are more closely guarded?
I simply figured I got away with it at the time and thanked my lucky stars.
I was happy to have the genuine thing in my hot little hand without waiting for it to come in😀
To be frank, I never even knew it was the Silver Snoopy strap until they told me of its restricted status.

Next time I'm in there, I shall try to order it in off the part number on the inside of it while it's on my Speedy and see what sort of response I get😉

I had no trouble ordering the snoopy strap and clasp from my OB. Just gave them the article numbers and a couple of weeks later they called and said they’d arrived.

Question for those that own this strap: what is the total length of it? Anyone with a larger wrist?

Works fine on my 7.5" wrist.

Good to know? Are you on the last hole? My wrist is slightly over 7.5”. Thanks.

Nah, it's on the 3rd hole from the lug, has four more holes to go so it will fit a 8"+ wrist. You'll be fine.

I think For straps existing in different sizes:
In S, the 12 o'clock side is 90 mm, and the 6 o'clock side is 95 mm.
The "regular" M is 100 and 105.
L version is 110 and 115.

For me the biggest impacting factor with regards to those straps is def the tapering… the slimmer the less toolwatch it gets in my opinion.
