As much as I love wearing the ST, I have never been convinced on Omega's choice of strap. My choices are the Snoopy strap or the 1171 bracelet. What would be your choice?
The 1171. I have a modern one and I am going to place it on my Gemini4. The problem I have is that the modern end links don't fit. They fit on my straight writing. I need to find my file.
I think the polished bracelet would look strange on the brushed case, but I can give this a go over the weekend maybe
... I simply vote, "yes please!" I honestly have no interest in the latest anniversary LE Speedy, RM or SM (happy for everyone that's giddy as all get-up, just not for me)... but this ST is fantastic, and unlike Sam, "I would like it here or there, I would like it anywhere... I would like it in a house, I would like it with a mouse... I would take one with a box, I would take one with a fox, I would and could take one in a car... I would in a tree... could I, would I take it in a train... in the dark, in the rain..., on a boat and with a goat, I do so like it, gostang I am..." So for those of you who's biggest dilemma is what strap/bracelet to wear it on, know that wearing it with any of those is so much better than not wearing it at all... (and for those posting a Gemini IV in the same thread... have you NO mercy?)
Fitting the 1171 end links takes a little effort. Two things to make it easier: 1) #2 file and a half a dozen strokes on either side. 2) use standard 1.75mm spring bars. Omega supplied bars are just that fraction too tight.
I think both the snoopy strap and the 1171 look fantastic. You really need both. I constantly switch between my cordura strap and the bracelet on my speedy.
