I currently have my electric blue on a bond bracelet but I've been thinking about swapping it out. The bond is comfortable but coming from a PO or an AT bracelet which feels solid the bond feels cheap in comparison. Looking at a strapcode super oyster, the speedy bracelet, Omega OEM rubber or even a Hirsch heavy calf blue which is waterproof. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!

 

Hi panamavin,

The first thing you should do is add some pics to your post.

The rest will fall into place. For a diver, rubber might be a good choice... it's just so hard to say without pics!

 

Yeah I forgot the golden rule pics or it didn't happen!

Great call on the alligator and the carbon - I forgot about those. The sailcloth I've heard great things about but not sure about it on this piece. And I just remembered I have a deployment clasp that would fit the alligator or the carbon. Thanks for the assist!

 

You're welcome!

 

Always thought the Electric blue looked best on this bracelet!

 

Now we're cookin' with peanut oil!

I'd go with the steel bracelet.. but then, I don't have a diver.

 

Yeah I was leaning towards the speedy bracelet and at the price of the Hirsch may swing both! It looks like a different watch with the speedy bracelet. Thanks for the pic!

 

I agree and your welcome.

 

I love the bond bracelet, but I am personally a fan of the looks of a PO or Speedy bracelet. Don't get me wrong, the Bond bracelet is fantastic and extremely unique, it's just a little too busy for me.

 

Where are you deploying your clasp to - Afghanistan? I know of several military men who use deployant clasps for their watches while on deployment. Not sure if they've all been to Afghanistan though......

 

In fact, never been to that sandbox but Iraq, Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain been there done that and got the deployment clasp! [emoji3]

 

But I can't get the speedy bracelet to fit into my SMPc it drives me nuts. I simply can't get 100% behind the Bond bracelet. I did manage to fit the bracelet of either the PO LMLE or the AT (not sure right now because I'm insomniac and slowly getting some vodka to get me to sleep) problem is that I like those 2 watches on steel as well. but the speedy I mostly wear on NATO and leather so...

 

Well start the find and Search with "posts from Nobel Prize" because I have deployed all my deployment clasps I'm.affraid. I'm the Dick Cheney of clasps.

 

Hey Sergio, not an expert at this (waiting for them to chime in and correct me too!) but the bracelet from the GMT should fit your SMPc (sorry about the old pic, it's all I have on this computer. Speedy style and perfect fit on the SMPc case. As far as I can tell the spring bar holes are closer to the case on the seamasters than on the speedys.

 

What about that blue strap @ulackfocus got for his AT?

I do like that strap. And while I mostly agree with the consensus that divers need to be on steel(or nato) and this particular diver needs to be on the speedy style something about leather appeals to me for this particular piece. It doesn't feel as much as a tool watch like some divers and seems like it's screaming to be put on leather for some reason.

 

I wound up getting the Hirsch Leonardo curved... For the moment. On the hunt for a pre loved speedy style bracelet. (1610/930). Will update with pics once it arrives!
