Omega Speedmaster Pro Eye Candy

Nono01

A lot of talk about Speedy pro here, but I just wanted to give my take.

Now I've had a few watches over the years, but this one has a very special sentimental meaning to me. I've had cheaper watches, more expensive watches, more special ones, but the Speedy Pro will always be my favorite and every time I look at the dial it will remind me of the good times (this is the sentimental part).

And it's the only watch I have that I don't really care what the value will be in the next years, as long as I have a roof on top of my head and my health, this one stays put. People call it the ultimate classic, and they are right. For more than 50 years the design hasn't changed one bit and it's one of those strap fan that goes well with everything. Well enough about it, here are some shots/wristshots, hope you like them.

I am bookmarking this thread! Outstanding photography. I really thought that I was a bracelet guy but now I'm second guessing myself. Well done all around @Nono01!

Where did you get that pass through green strap? Also digging the grey with the orange stripe.

Thanx all Guys for your great comments



Honestly I cannot remember, but I know it was some cheap eBay strap that I got and it just sat there in the box until i tried it one day. Very good quality strap, and it was like 30 bucks


Thank you Sir!



I think i got them on CheapestNatoStraps


So, it seems that I didn't have enough straps so I started my own lineup of NATO straps (not kidding 😀)
Here are few Speedy themed:

Subtle detail 😀

2. Light Gray

Really enjoyed the pictures and nice variety of straps. Would love to see a post on where you got those straps from and your opinion of them.

Nono01

Sure, no problem. Just which ones are you reffering to, lots of straps in this thread 😀

To be honest, that alligator strap I bought one night on eBay (drunk, but we have all been there right? 😁 ), I think it was from a seller called Kingnobstrap. The strap is great, have it for maybe 5 years, and for that money it's the bomb!
Leather NATO was bought from cheapest nato straps, and it's not real leather. Not very comfortable, shows signs of age just after 10 uses, so it's just good for photos. And the tan two-stitch strap was a custom made job by our strapmaker here in Croatia. Maybe the best piece of leather I have, costed about three pints of Beer but it's the most comfortable strap I have and has aged pretty well
