    Hi all, expecting my first speedy pro next week. It has a SS bracelet but would prefer a non metal strap. There are a few options strap with deployment clasp or NATO strap or vintage leather strap.

    I know there will be no consensus on this so can you share your favourite pics with different straps. tks.....M

    What kinda SS bracelet might it be????

    Take a look at cheapestnatostraps.com - they offer Nylon and leather options, all for the promised cheapness; good way to try something out without too much monetary investment.

    I'd like to say yes, but I haven't been able to find one either. I also wanted to try one out to see how I liked it given that they're rare and not cheap, so I had this one made. I would love to find a real one.

    I can remove the pic if this is a violation...

    In any event, Eric makes some nice stuff. Like this:

    image.jpeg Mine is on Hirsch Medici in brown. It's got a curved end which fits really well. Can't find a wrist shot, but Google will find heaps

    Thank you. I sent him an e-mail. Your sharkskin looks great BTW. Speedies look so good on so many different straps but the double ridge with the curved ends is my favorite

    I bought a Speedy Pro a little over a month ago and Ive been hunting down straps like a machine! I've bought 4 plus the original bracelet and NATO strap. I bought one from Bas & Lokes and I bought an OEM rally start and sourced a deployant clasp through a member here( this is the way to go, so comfortable! and looks better than an secondary market strap). I also bought a couple of Nylon straps from GasGasBones but they haven't arrived yet.
