I guess thats the retail price, £180 for strap and £180 for clasp. Anyone know where it could be found cheaper? I can only find ebay sales, and they seem to be even more expensive. I have also been looking at bracelets, and found the 1171 quite cheap, light and flimsy when I felt it in person. It seems the 1450 would suit me, but as I understand its almost impossible to find one to buy in good condition. How do one go about buying this bracelet? I wished Omega would reproduce the 1450, or a similar new solid link with the same quality....

Excited! Just got a email from the boutique that my speedy can be picked up in the UK. I'm thinking about to order the snoopy strap with strap but the price is quite hefty. £360 for both strap and clasp, is it worth it compared to other straps? Will it fit out of the box?

As mentioned previously in this thread a couple of pages ago (with pictures and ref. nr.), there is also a somehow similar looking Kevlar strap (which I bought)., where you could use also your existent clasp, which I find quite nice! It is around 160€...

And yes, both will fit out of the box... 😉

Definitely worth it in my opinion but have a look at bobs watches on eBay, you can buy the strap and clasp (brushed of course) for about £75 if I remember, it's a very good quality alternative.

It really looks stunning on the speedy Tuesday! The white stitches really complements the white dials. This picture might be the one that pushes me over the ledge and order the original from the boutique. How does the clasp look and feel on the wrist compared to the clasp you get with the leather roll? How sensitive are the white stitches on dirt and sweat?

The strap looks quite nice, I have to imagine how it looks like on the Speedy though (which speedmaster is it fitted on?) 😀 Are you currently using the brown leather strap? I'm also kind of worried about the white stitches on the Snoopy strap will get dirty after a while. Any opinion on the Snoopy clasp vs the clasp that you get with the watch?

The white of the subdials is rather a silver, so I like the light-gray stitching on the Kevlar strap equally well. I use my ST on a dark-brown leather at the moment - the Kevlar strap will be mounted in autumn/winter timeframe.
The self-deployment clasp wears of course totally different. I personally wanted to use the original clasp.

So do you think the boutiques are playing with the watches before our scheduled pickups? i.e. - taking it out of the packaging, posing wrist shots with them, showing the staff, etc.?

My OCD is killing me thinking about this....

Posted by me on p132. Was I joking? Muahhahahahahah!

That is because they need time to pull all stickers off, wear it to the pub and pass it around all their mates before begrudgingly sending it on once the next one to play with arrives 😉

No one would do that.

Nothing done to your watch is anywhere near as bad as what happens to your food before it gets to you 😉.

I'm struggling to pay for this watch as it is, no way I can afford the official Snoopy! I've bought a black nylon/leather strap for £12 that is almost identical, just with grey stitching. Will post pictures when/if my ST arrives.

Please do! As I understand, the chrono dials are more silver than white, so it might be more suitable with gray stitches. I actually went ahead and ordered the snoopy strap, I just have to plan my trip to London now 😀

Anyone above 1000 heard news of their ST yet?


Rumour is - The next batch is about to be sent out ( and there is more than the first batch that was released )
