In much the same vein as the leather strap thread, do any of you have non Omega steel bracelets on your speedmasters?

I ask as during my googling for a correct period bracelet for my speedy (1506), I'm struck by how few there seem to be out there, and how eye-wateringly expensive they are when they do crop up.

So, as it's common practice to put them on leather straps or a NATO band, have you put an aftermarket bracelet on one? If so, show us! 馃憤

I pretty much like this brown leather one. Cost 50 Euro, bought it at Wempe,a German Jeweller Chain,thy use it on their own expensive watches. It's comfy, nice and rigid.

I took this shot recently. Both 69. One with original 1039 bracelet and one with a B&S strap. Both I like. If pushed I preferred the feel of the leather.

Which bracelet is that? The end pieces seem to fit very well.
Speidel first, then 2 originals then JB 19 mm with curved ends

Two different JB Champion mesh bands side by side. I'm selling the Milanese version in case anyone is interested.

Cowhorn JB Champion hybrid with 1970 calendar matching my Head.

Such a nerdy complement to a tool watch.




Love the Cowhorns.
