Hi all! Recentely I have purchased my first Omega: a Geneve Automatic. It came with a bracelet, but I felt that I should be able to wear it with a leather strap as well. Thus, I altered a 22mm strap to make it fit the lugs. Although I do think that the shoulders are a bit too big, I do like the result. This is the original bracelet:
I like it, completely transforms the whole look of the Dynamic, almost makes it a bit Nautilus like in its appearance.
It's a hard thing to pull off without it looking like MacGyver did it with a pocket knife and an old cowboy belt. You've done a great job, could be taken for an OEM fit, and it transforms the look of the watch. A big BZ Sir!
Well done and the Nautilus did come to mind! How did you do that without butchering the strap? I once tried to alter a rubber strap...might as well have thrown the money I paid for it down the drain, hehe!
I used this tutorial (and bought the right tools), combined with some caution and common sense! http://www.mcbroom.biz/PMWF/DIY-Strap-notching-tutorial-SCWF-Thomas.htm
