Hi, it actually strap from the speedmaster solar impulse
Thanks for the info - I don't think I'd seen (or maybe noticed) one like that previously.

Hi All, just to share my recent purchase another Rubber strap for DSOTM. I bought from ebay. The rubber feel great quality. It is not made by Rubber B. I feel it is homage of rubber B.. Still can see some gap on the lug because it actually for speedmaster professional.

How much work (both in time and, i guess, knowledge) is it to swap bracelets on the DSOTM watches, and what tools do you use for it?

That rubber looks good - makes it more casual but still very classy a the same time.

Bored at work today, so took an x-ray of my DSOTM 😁

It was face down with the deployant clasp pointing upwards towards the detector and to the image right. It's hard to compress the entire dynamic range of the x-ray down to a single JPG to show the radiographic innards. But a few things stand out to me:
- Surprised the Ti-ceramic clasp was not very radio-opaque at all... it depends on the its attenuation relative to the mean kVp of the beam, but still...
- Surprised the spring bar is not radio-opaque along its entire length... perhaps not solid core metal all the way through?
- Surprised the ceramic bezel is quite radiodense... didn't know if all ceramic is like that.

Anyways, enjoy!

Interesting, thanks for sharing. That sure was a photo different from the usual. 😀

For some reason, took two quick shots tonight. Didn't even remember to clear the crystal, but I'm going to share them anyway...

The 9300 is gorgeous! Co-Axial! Silicon Balance! Twin barrels! Vertical Coupling and a fine Swiss Castle inside! Even the influential ETA 7750 fingerprint is all over this movement! What more can you want

Indeed. Took me a while to get used to it but there has been some bonding now. We are starting to have some history. And I like the way it still looks totally new.

I've realized that I've only been wearing the DSOTM lately, well, maybe 75%+ of the time. So it might be time to put some stuff for sale... hate having money parked spinning in the winder. 😀
