    As I begin my adventure with my new 3861 Sandwich (my first Speedy)....I've been drawn instinctually on how fantastic the Speedy looks with brown straps.....

    I just discovered Genteel (from another thread) and could not stop staring at a chestnut brown strap.....

    If you got your Speedy on a brown strap...feel free to post it and provide the detail....

    Thicker than most but how I like a strap on a tool watch. (Has settled a bit from this shot when new)

    A very nice strap, in keeping with what I’ve seen on his Instagram account. His prices are above my means (unfortunately) but he really makes beautiful stuff. :thumbsup:

    I have purchased a few of his straps over the years, and they are all very well made and attractive, with nice leather.

    I love a brown strap on a speedy. I have the one for the trilogy speedmaster on my 321. Love the look.

    Great strap choice. Looks awesome and in keeping with the Speedmaster's motorsport origins.

    After wearing my 145022 on this one from B&R Bands for years I went to the OB looking for an Omega replacement. In the end I didn't see anything I liked quite as much, but I did spruce it up a little with an OEM pin buckle.

    I used to be the same way until I tried it with my brother’s Speedy Pro.The Speedy just works really well all straps. I don’t think the look works as well on something like the ALS Datograph or some other really dressy black faced watch.
