A bit ahead of Speedy Tuesday, but just wanted to share this picture of my new 3570.50 and what you think about this Omega chocolate calf strap.

I am not sure yet about this chocolate brown strap on the black dial Speedmaster, but it does wear comfortable and I think I prefer a strap over a bracelet. I always prefer brown straps over black straps when it comes to a black dial, the contrast makes the dial stand out even better imho. Bought a new Speedmaster last year August, but there were some issues with the winding mechanism of the watch. After sending it back and forth to the Omega service dept, I received a brand new one last month. I bought it on the stainless steel bracelet, but added this strap last week. Comes with the folding clasp (with push buttons).

In the back ground you see some of my other Omega watches. From left to right, Speedmaster 125 (1973), Speedmaster Pro pre-Moon 145.012 (1967), Speedmaster Pro 145.022 (1979) and a Speedmaster Pro Moonphase 3575.20.

Just an iPhone picture, but that's all I have right now at my desk..




Oh yeah, congrats to the new forum software. Works and looks great!

The white is okay, but black edges would make that strap even cooler.

I thought Speedmasters were his work.

 

lovely watches you have there

 

You don't?

 

Thanks George!

 

Please post a picture when it has been delivered!

 

Wow, what a great strap! Where ever did you find that?

I know this one is a few day old, but I have to say I really like the brown strap in the box (with minimal stitching) looks like a great combo!

 

Thanks Rockmastermike, it is a italian handmade strap from Tuscany. Love it on my vintage Speedies.

 

Lovely!, congratulations.
