Happy New Year all.

I’ve liquidated some watches to make room for a potential grail. Even though the white dial 3861 is the hype piece of 2024, I am enamored with the two moonshine Speedmasters in moonshine gold.

Unfortunately, my budget won’t allow for the bracelet option. I wouldn’t walk away from the “panda” if I found a great deal, but I really love the green dial. The problem is I don’t like the green alligator strap at all.

Two questions for the masses-
1. Do you think the black rubber “moon surface” strap that comes standard on the panda dial would look stupid with the green dial watch?

And/or

2. What other strap options would you recommend or think would look amazing (I lean toward sporty) on the green dial moonshine watch?



Ps. Posting on other forums as well to maximize responses and opinions.

Agreed, black works well as it's a neutral color against the gold and green. Would check out the website and use the above strap changer to see what different straps you think will work.

I think the black OEM rubber works well:

I second this option. This is sporty. Most of my watches are on fkm rubber straps which are very usable in daily wear.

Hi all, not often I revive an old thread but I recently purchased this very watch and like some are not a fan of the alligator strap in all situations.
My questions are, does the gold deployment clasp that comes with the watch fit the OEM rubber strap with the moon crater pattern underneath? I have heard it’s soft and malleable, and it looks quite thin at the ends.
Also do the moon swatch rubber straps fit the Speedmaster cases in exactly the same way?

Thanks in advance

It depends whether the OEM deployant clasp for the alligator strap is 16 or 18mm, the rubber has a taper from 20 to 16mm.

Regarding the case, the rubber is used on the moonshine panda so would fit on the green dial as well.

The deployant that comes with the green dial moonshine speedy is 16mm and the same part that comes with the moonshine panda. It’s a perfect fit for the speedmaster oem rubber strap with crater undersides.

Thank you, saves a lot of money looking for a new look.

I also find it to be the most comfortable strap by far for a gold Speedmaster, which can be top heavy. By being flush to the case, the strap makes the watch head sit well on the wrist. Let us see some pictures when you get it 🙂
