    Hey everyone!
    This is my first time posting in a forum
    I had just purchased a speedy 3592 and it's arriving on Friday, and it comes with the original bracelet
    I would like to change it to straps but i have no clue where to start looking for.
    Any recommendations on where to look for straps ?
    I'm a big fan of vintage racing straps and deployment clasp [emoji4] but other straps will do just fine, i just prefer straps over bracelet for it's more versatile feeling
    I'm currently living in Indonesia and the straps sold here are overpriced
    Anyways, any sites or trusted ebay seller would be very much appreciated
    Thanks guys

    Cheers,
    Kevin

    From Stevostraps with deployant. Not high dollar but decent quality and I like the look of the raw edges. image.jpg

    This is a nice combination, not cheap but very comfortable to wear...

    First off, congrats on your 3592.50, I too have one, and its a beauty.

    IMHO anything works well with Speedmaster, I use a black croc on mine or a tan strap which is more casual.

    Hirsch straps are a very nice brand, quite affordable and great quality.

    Thank you so much everyone for the help
    Heuerville site looks great but the dark brown straps is also looking very neat, will be taken into consideration
    Any reference for sellers on ebay ?
    And if i buy the strap and deployment clasp separately, will it be fine or the thickness of the strap varies ?

    If you like the Rally or Racer style you have one of the best strap makers in your back yard! Gunny Straps

    Here is one I purchased from him

    Peter has hundreds of options available, all hand made and depending on complexity reasonably priced. Great to work with!

    With a Speedy anything works. It's the best strap watch I've worn.

    If you want to go this route I recommend the Omega the deployant clasp but there OEM croc prices are insane.

    Buy one from the same company that Omega buys them: http://www.camillefournet.com/en/eshop/leather-straps

    Agree. I don't see myself going with a tang-styled buckle on my Speedy, but at the same time I don't see many decent/quality leather strap options that would fit the Omega OEM deployant... :coffee: One trick is never pay Omega's MSRP for their leather straps... :rolleyes:

    Looking at the site you suggested...this one [http://www.camillefournet.com/en/leather-strap-in-matte-navy-blue-square-scaled-alligator] appears to be similar to mine [Omega] but is a bit more of what I paid for mine..thanks to the better USD-Eur exchange rate we now enjoy!
