    I've recently begun searching for some bracelet options for my 376.0822 and I stumbled upon the vintage JB Champion mesh bracelet. Has the JB Champion mesh been tried on the 376.0822 before? Will this be an awkward combo?

    Cannot get much better than the 1450 but I like the JB, very confortable and special strap

    I'm wondering if I should buy the (heavier) 10k gold version and how that would compare to the 1450. I like feeling a bit of weight on my wrist.

    I have always disliked the JB champion bracelet. It is like it is, there is no particular reason, just a matter of taste.

    On the other hand, JB champion is rather thin and refined - quite the opposite of the 376.0822 which is massive and wears much thicker compared to a Moonwatch.

    I have the same watch and usually wear it on a vintage leather band.

    Thank you for this insightful post and congrats on your Speedy Grail 376.0822 in immaculate condition! My goodness.

    Do you enjoy the factory 1450 bracelet? How does it compare to your vintage leather band?

    I'm not a fan of the JB on this watch. 1450 or leather for me.

    Thanks, Oddboy! Can you kindly point me to a nice leather strap or NATO you enjoy? Should I wait for the official Omega factory leather nato to be released in the summer?
