    Hi - anyone else on here comfortable in using the extra long Nasa strap on their Speedy? I've bought a few from aftermarket and have been wearing versions of them for work for quite a while. I find them really comfortable compared to the SS bracelet. Asking the group as I was in an omega outlet and the sales dude said he'd never seen anyone wear one prior to me visiting and I found that surprising....

    The Omega replica NASA strap is my favorite and most comfortable strap...I wear it ridiculously often. So ridiculously often that I’ve worn out and replaced the hook portion of the Velcro twice since 2015. I did the Velcro hook replacement work myself...because I have the technology. :thumbsup:

    LATE ENTRY: Pictured below is my original Omega replica NASA strap that was included with my modern Speedy Moonwatch presentation box set from 2015.

    I prefer the Omega aftermarket Velcro strap. Nice and tidy.

    I never even took the supplied one out of the bag, and it is still in the box, which is stashed in a closet.
    I do however, have this one...

    On the Omega website, with all the other NATO straps, at least in the US.

    No actually it should be as it is listed in the DSM-5.

    1. Recurrent and persistent thoughts, urges, or impulses that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and unwanted, and that in most individuals cause marked anxiety or distress.

    2. A watch collector.

    :D

    I find the Omega NATO strap quite comfortable and wear it both ways... double looped and wrap around my wrist the way OP did in his image.

    Difficult part is removing if use double loop technique as seen in photo. B7D38BB8-7C8F-4395-A019-A2EE0976C46B.jpeg

    I picked up mine from the boutique as soon as I got the watch. For $50, you can’t go wrong. The Mgr put it on by looping it twice under the spring bars but it was way too difficult to take it off. Now I just double wrap it, the way it was intended. It’s not as clean, but it doesn’t take 5 minutes to take off either.

    I would recommend it.
