Oh yeah, wears perfectly fine. And the deployant clasp is a big step ahead, especially in comparison with pain-in-the-arse pin-buckle of SMP rubber.
Thanks, Butik. I'll order the black nylon strap and deployant from the Boutique.

Does anyone have the all blue SMP? My AD doesn’t have one. Trying to determine if the hands are black or brushed. Online pictures make it seem that it’s brushed. Would really like to get a blue Omega. Torn between the grey and blue SMP’s and the grey/blue aqua terra.

Congrats on the white dial! I’ve had mine for a year now. Been on the rubber strap since August. Don’t think I’ll put the bracelet back on it. Much more comfortable on the strap.

Thanks!

Was the band and clasp really expensive? Thinking about it for my speedy. Thanks!

The band in Poland was 1.050PLN which is €230 roughly. Same price for the clasp (but I had this one already).

Thanks! Appreciate the quick response. Looks like $285 USD for each then based on current exchange rates. Have a great weekend!

Do you recommend one spring bar tool over another? I'm looking to pick one up.

Thanks...
I just use the free one I got with an old after market strap for another watch. I don't tape up the lugs or any of that precious crap! So yeah, a few small scars from the change overs, but that kinda makes it my watch?
What I do like about this model is the bracelet doesn't sit on the lugs, so you don't tend to get as much damage.

Great pics............ leaning heavily towards white now.

PS: Butik. In Afrikaans (South Africa), we have boetiek, which is boutique in English. So all these languages come from one.

Ah indeed, and that one language would be...Sanskrit!

I think it looks better on SS but wears better on rubber.

The hands are polished

When I bought a strap and clasp back in spring 2020 from the Houston OB, the price was $250 clasp and $250 strap. I think a gatorskin strap was like $350.
