Does it look good to you? That's what's important. Does it make you feel good when you wear it? That's what's important.
I have to say it looks great. I personally am going to start looking for a rally strap I'm thinking in a light brown leather. I think I found one.
Hmmm. I hate to be the t*rd in the punch bowl, but I don’t like it. I think that Speedy is sort of a dignified instrument. It even says “professional” on the dial! The strap you have on it just seems way dressed down to me. When I see that watch, I think of all those crew cut astronauts from the 60s. Not the flower children of Haight-Ashbury. That strap reminds me of the latter. But as an earlier poster said, if you like it, that’s all that matters. That one is just not for me. When I get my Speedy. Some day.
I concur. I believe dark brown works better, even suede. This one is B&R and just had one from Heuerville delivered which I need to try out.
I have yet to find a strap that doesn't work with the Speedy, to be honest. Unfortunately I also haven't found the perfect strap yet. Though I'm working on it...
There is no such thing, it might for a few days after fitting, but then the search continues. All part of the fun.
Well, I prefer the more classic ones and I never understood the stiched lug-ends deckchair style. I might be an authenticity fascist...
I think the stitched lug ends make a "distressed style" strap. They just seem to frame the case nicely.
