    ..that is, switching to a Bulang & Sons (BS) strap! :) I admit being a hard core fan of Omega deployants/straps but decided to try something different, at least for now. Thanks to @yinzerniner for enabling this B&S strap! I like it! :thumbsup: made from a soft/feather-light leather, it feels good on the wrist and makes the Speedy somewhat handsome! and because a thread w/o pictures is almost worthless in my view, here we go with the transformation!

    :)

    I was thinking about something else when I seen the name of the thread. Speedy is going BS)))))
    P.S. Really nice strap though.

    Love the B&S straps. Great look and a great feel. I went for a brown version recently. Took the metal off for the moment :thumbsup:

    I really like the looks of the strap + Speedy combo! Looks very comfortable, how breathable are those straps? Any issues with developing sweaty wrist syndrome?

    ..the strap is very comfortable indeed, but I must defer any assessment wrt the sweaty wrist syndrome for later.. and, I would not use the term breathable on this one :-(

    This is one very cool looking strap, I prefer it in brown though.
    It does change the whole look of the watch.
    Congratulations

    How is it with the thickness of this ref? Is it noticeable? Can you wear it under a sleeve?

    ~14 mm thick....will it fit under a sleeve? well, that depends on how tight you like to wear the cuffs :)

    I won't jump on the BS in the title, but I personally never really understood how it became popular and why anyone would put those deckchair-style things on a Speedy. Hurts :)

    deck-chair style! must remember this one! :p now, that's a term that in my view applies to NATO straps! :D but again, everyone has different views/likes! ;)
