    Watch looks nice, strap looks horrid, definitely deserves something nicer, maybe hit up our man at Kelaran for some peeled reptile to set it off.

    On 19mm, all you have to do is take a 20mm and squish him ever so slightly and they're fine usually

    Wow! Almost NOS Omega. I have a couple of those in my collection but in much worse condition. I wish they're a little bigger in size so I could wear them from time to time. They're only around 34.5mm but seems bigger because of those big lugs. Congrats on a great find :)

    Here's another vote for a great piece :thumbsup: but awful strap :thumbsdown:. I'm sure it will look a lot better with the strap you selected :thumbsup: we'll look for a repost with the new strap! :D

    well you guys wouldn't believe there are some who liked the strap and asked me where they can find one.. Different strokes for different folks.
    will post some pics once I get the strap...

    I wouldn't say the strap is bad, actually it is very unique. However it feels inappropriate for this dressy Seamaster. Just my 2 cents :)

    Are you sure it's a 19mm strap. These "old eyes" tell me that the strap on the watch says 19 but looks like it's been "squished" to fit. Please consider taking a closer look. Regardless, wear in good health. Miki

    That's entirely up to you. I'm simply stating that it may not be 19mm between the lugs.

    Oh shoot I misunderstood you ...

    dang it so I ordered a wrong strap ... Well I will keep for my future watches ... Now I have to order a 18mm ... I saw that squeeze but didn't pay attention to it. I generally measure the length before ordering since it already said 19 mm I didn't bother measuring it.
