THIS is why I so love my FOIS! So many options for dressing it up with a different strap, and I've only scratched the surface of the potentials out there!



How about the rest of you. Share away!

 

My workhorse, the assembled SM300: goes well with just about anything I throw at it!

 

I agree about the FOIS, and I've tried on many different straps and bracelets (see my profile pic for one example ). But for some reason, I always go back to the strap it came on and wear it on that way most often. The brown of the original strap really compliments the watch, has just the right amount of padding, and is very comfortable.

I think Omega did a great job pairing that strap with the watch.

 

The strap is too small for me, as I end up wearing it on the 2nd to last hole. I prefer a NATO on the FOIS.

 

One of the best things about the speedy, it looks great on a nice alligator or a casual shell cordovan:

 

Heck. I'm ON the strap's last hole! Consider yourself lucky!

 

Can someone please tell me what that silver tool is called? Is it just for changing straps/bracelets etc? Also, is there anything else I should have in the drawer handy in terms of tools etc? Sorry, still new to the hobby and want to have everything necessary to change straps without damaging anything. Cheers.

Spring bar tool

 

Thanks, gents. Just purchased Bergen 6767-F from Amazon. Saw that quite a few guys recommended it.

 

Just to make sure you're aware, the "F" is the fine end. It's very small to allow access into tight endlinks on bracelets. While you can use it on most every springbar, the "S" or standard end is easier where you have access. You can get the tool with both the F and S ends fitted for only pennies more than the F on its own. Check and make sure you're happy wile you still have time to alter your order.

Thanks for the heads up! I picked the 'fine' version on purpose actually. I am a bit late now anyway to change order

 

Panda with green straps looks beautiful! I am ordering a couple of straps from Hodinkee myself shortly and one is in somewhat same shade of green.

 

My god that green works!

 

Just bought that Kizzi Flightgear NASA strap. Can't wait to get it on my Speedy Pro. Also, I want a FOIS so bad but I don't know if I can give up my Pro...

 

Who makes the rally strap with orange stitching on the Ultraman? It looks great!

 

Loving the green alligator.
