    First on a strap, with a little personal touch-up by me to match the stitching with the hands/markers:

    But it came on a bracelet:

    And included a backside bonus:

    Beautiful. Looks better on a leather strap if you ask me... I mean, it's not a Speedmaster but it'll do... It tells the time, I guess... :whistling:

    Fantastic Ranchero! Both options look great, though I'm partial to the strap

    Welcome and nice Ranchero. Thanks for sharing!

    Interesting your Ranchero has had 2 different crowns; neither, I believe, is considered correct. Second hand looks a bit off as well. Are the hour and minute hand replacements? Dial and strap make a nice pair.

    Very good point about the crown.....
    As I recall, I bought it as shown in the bracelet picture. A well known Omega collector contacted me needing an extra link or two from the bracelet. I was happy to give them to him, and in return he offered the crown shown in the strap picture, which he felt was appropriate for the piece. BUT, this was years ago, and frankly at that time the Ranchero was not considered particularly desirable/valuable. So I did not consider it a major coup for my collection, and my memory may be faulty.
