I really liked the new ploprof clasp when I had the watch and for some reason had a spare. A little project with a "strap doctor" and this is what turned out
I know some of you are offended by this but it's another way to wear the 125
Happy Sunday

 

I'm not offended at all. I just bought the same clasp for my mesh. Nice work looks great!

 

Omega offered something similar in the 60s. I take no offense.

Nice, very creative

 

I think it is not an offense at all. I have made something similar with my flightmaster and I like very much the result. Furthermore, I think the Ploprof clasp is one of the most solid built and easy to adjust clasps in the market.

Some pics of my flightmaster with this clasp:

 

Very nice! The size and weight of the clasp is balanced by the watch. I tried something similar with a watchco SM300 and it was overpowered.
Can I ask where you got the rubber pieces? The fit looks perfect so I assume they are 22/20.

Referring to the offense......if you look at the 125, the modular movement has been plugged into a different case and some people are less accepting of things that did not leave the factory the same way.

 

The rubber strap is a Bonetto Cinturini, which is quite a good purchase... Genuine italian caoutchouc with vanilla scent. A good bang for the buck, as it should not cost more than 30 EUR. It is 22/20 and fits perfect. I took it cut to near the minimun length, as both the case and clasp are quite long.

I have realized you changed the case. If not, I think it can be near impossible to fit a strap in the lugs of the original integrated bracelet.... Anyway, the Speedy 125 is prepared for that... If not, why allowing to retire the movement from case and bracelet?

 

Thanks, will see what I can find.

As to the 125.....further story here, starts a little way into Rogart's post, I still use the original case/integrated bracelet too.

I have the new style Omega mesh with Ploprof clasp on my Planet Ocean and it is surprisingly comfortable.

 

^ May I ask why you are surprised it's so comfortable?

 

It is a huge and heavy bracelet compared to older Omega shark mesh bracelet. I was just surprised by the comfort and how it felt on my wrist.
The clasp itself is as big as the 42mm watch.

 

I had the older buckle type clasp with older mesh and switched to the newer ploprof clasp. While it is much bigger I find it balances out the total weight of the combo.
