Stunning! I like that mesh, it's about half way between Milanese and shark meshes from the looks of it. A bit better suited to the beefier case compared to mine.

Finally got my strap in! (Pic's to come!) But what size spring bars are ya'll putting on your Constellation? I know mine is at 19mm.. But they come in different sizes.. Some 1.3, 1.5, 1.8mm?? Single, double shoulder, double flange?

Yes they do.



And it doesn't have to be an Omega either!

For my dogleg Connie I use the thickest spring bars I could find, which I think are 1.8 or 2.0 mm. Double flange for ease of changing the strap to suit my attire/mood/the weather. I could be wrong but I believe double shoulder bars in say 20 mm will still fit into 19 mm lugs, and should provide fractionally more tension and less risk of popping loose, so if you don't want to change the strap then that could be the most secure option.
