    Hey Everyone,
    I’ve been a lurker for a while now with just a couple of posts. I’ve learned so much by reading all the great posts. So much interesting and great information! Thank you! I’ve been modestly collecting for about 15 years and lucky enough to acquire some nice pieces in the last 6 years or so. I picked up this beauty last year (Sedna Gold on leather strap) but I’ve always liked swapping out steel bracelets a couple of time a year with my leather bands. My OB was kind enough to put this bracelet on my speedy but not everyone in the boutique was sold on it and of course put some doubt in my mind so I didn’t pull the trigger. I think the bracelet needs a hint of gold to really work but omega doesn’t have one that works. I did try a generic bracelet but it was inexpensive and the quality was questionable so I returned it. Just wondering what you all think? Cheers

    Unfortunately this is not a real option (used Photoshop to stick the bracelet of a yellow gold - steel 331.20.42.51.02.001)...

    But honestly, I think the steel bracelet is just fine and looks pretty good, personally I prefer it over the leather strap.

    Personally I think the steel bracelet nails it. Sedna on the bracelet as well feels like overkill IMHO.

    There’s no hard and fast rule saying a two tone watch head has to have two tone bracelet or otherwise (and I’ve got examples of one of each in my collection). Of the two I have, I prefer the look of two tone watch head only.

    Thanks so much...I never thought of trying to photoshop the image. I agree the steel looked great but my wife gave me the stink eye so I passed on it. I think I’ll revisit the option this winter.

    I’m convinced! I’ll pull the trigger over the winter. Thanks for all the great input!
