A good post, I think a lot of us have accumulated some real vintage straps over the years, I know I have, some I use and some remain unused. It might be a nice thread to show examples of unused vintage Omega ( and other ) straps.

Thanks so much for providing this. I love neato straps and have an interest in vintage styles, especially the 1940s/1950s straps with their rolled edges. I find those to be most eye-catching on watches of that era. Reproductions seem hard to find.

Dear Esteemed Forum Peoples,

Your new fangled, "creative", strap pairings are worse than fake butter on popcorn. Enough of this tomfoolery! Allow me to set you straight.

I am also a big fan of accurate form pigskin straps, I have a bunch. Peccary is a dressier alternative with a lot of texture.
