    Looks quite slick, although I was watching that listing and didn't like how the "crimping" of the strap from 21 to 20mm looked more like cutting, so the ends are very frayed.
    I think the PO LM LE would look dynamite on one of the coated nylon natos that Omega offers.

    There does appear to be a bit of fraying on top right, can try and fix it. Other than that looks great on the spring holes. I tried the thicker NATO as I preferred its look over the other one. And it added a bit too much thickness
    So far I'm happy with it

    I think it looks spectacular. As soon as my LM LE gets back from being serviced I will be looking for a nice nylon or rubber strap for it. I do not like wearing SS in the summer months, plus I think diver timepieces look awesome with straps.

    Let us know how you make out.

    Thank u. I definitely wish they actually made a 20mm cordura strap. Would've bought it in a heartbeat. So far it's great. Feels just right. A bit snug when attaching it however.
    I would definitely recommend the nylon. Adds a unique touch to an already special watch

    They do now, it's just not available for purchase yet:

    And yes, I've been waiting on this one for a long time now and will snatch it up in a HEARTBEAT as soon as possible. I had a chance to try on a pre-production sample at the NYC Omega Boutique and the strap is absurdly comfortable and refined. I love the DSOTM strap, but it being 21mm and working with a tang buckle (as opposed to the phenomenal Omega deployant) held me back from purchasing it.

    As for the black coated nylon nato, yes it adds about 2.5-3mm tot the height, so I can see your point. I was thinking of contacting Jean Rousseau (the OEM manufacturer of the straps for Omega) and having one custom made that doesn't include the tuck under secondary piece, so that tit's just a one piece coated nylon nato.

    That's good to know. I do prefer the deployment buckle, but for the 100$ for the DSOM strap I got could hold me over for the time being. I'm really liking it so far. Ya the thickness it added was uncomfortable for me as I have small wrists, and I didn't like the one with metal loops. I wonder what a custom made strap would cost.
