    I will also note- that the center protrusion for the spring loaded ends rubs some of the shorter lugged watches like the diver I posted a few days ago and this 120.its a slight rub but I could see it leaving a mark over time if I wore it regularly

    I will note on my 69 - I also notice a little friction as you describe.

    Super fast exchange for a short version! Feeling much more comfortable for my wrist. Great product!

    Omega knows a winning style - perhaps it’s sourcing Forstner for its smash hit Seamaster release. It looks good.

    Is it just me or do these bracelets just look very odd..?

    I guess part of the attraction is the history behind these bracelets, but as these bracelets are so narrow to me they just look ill-fitting (especially with a large watch head such as a speedmaster).

    Anyway, they do seem well made and I commend the manufacturer for bringing something so niche to the market.

    Haha, ok :)

    Then my second complaint is that the steel bracelet attachment is gonna grind itself into the lugs over time.

    I think he is actually referring to how the middle section of the end link which is raised can possibly impact the case and rub over time but I would think one of the clear blobs applied here would do the trick also.

    Having pre-ordered, and after paying credit card foreign currency fees and having just paid for the strap to clear customs, I can confirm that Darren's price is by far the best option for UK buyers!

    A Halifax Clarity credit card removes the first problem but not the second. Out of interest what were you stung for for customs and handling? Circa £20?

    Tom wore his with the clasp over the top, so I don't feel so bad about leaving it as is.

    Noticed that too (posted a close up pic a few posts back), but I guess it’s on the bottom side and probably doesn’t contact with any more force than a standard metal bracelet.

    Wellll...I don’t I don’t know about that. As I only
    Had it on my Speedy for a hot minute, I didn’t take note of if it rubbed the case in the center, but on the SM120 it really contacts it and keeps the endlinks from pivoting up and down (which isn’t a bitg deal when wearing it but still a firm contact point that can leave a mark over time). Again, the 120 has shorter lugs than the Speedy but it’s something to keep an eye on when pairing it with different watches.

    guess it depends on the watch but like you said there is some metal that protrudes inward toward the watch so maybe depends on lug size and the placing of the holes.

    Wore mine yesterday. I did notice in the evening that the keeper part where the strap turns back on itself had loosened a little, but I just slid it back to tighten it up.
