I think that if you love it, you're good to go, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I also think that watch belongs on a bracelet, or a hard working grade fabric strap, like a NATO or MN. It's a tool watch. Leather is for dress, and trendy youtube fashionistas. Sporty leather is just weird.

But, seriously, why would you care, if you like it? Wear it in good health. 👍

In fact - I am not looking for appraisal or opinion, just showing something I think interesting, what I like (and that is, as you said, most important point) but maybe others could take advantage of 😀

Fair enough, but you literally did ask lol. I agree, it's a good color match. That is a nice moon phase.

I bought my moonphase on bracelet, as I usually do, and then look for some nice strap options. Obviously this watch has a strap made specifically for this model, which is black aligator, which I personally do not like.

First I hoped that rally strap from Dark Side of the Moon Alinghi would be OK, but unfortunately it's too thick at the case and does not fit. Then I have tried several different after market options, but eventually got original OMEGA, that is normally put on latest Speedy Chronoscope Panda (white dial black subdials).

Here some photos & videos, curious what you think, I love this combo 😀

How about the same strap, but with blue instead of red? Not that I'm trying to change your mind. 😉

I will be soon getgin a bespoke alligator strap, quite interesting in my humble opinion, but we will see. It is being made now, should be ready in about a week or so.
