    I don't find the deployant on this watch as comfortable as a conventional strap and I am considering one of the three below until I have one purpose made. What do you think?

    I vote for #1 [top photo] -- it works with any clothing/belt/shoe colour and can be seen as both dressy and casual.

    2 strap changes in 3 minutes.
    Did you train for that?

    1 or 3.
    Never ever Nr 2.

    I vote for Nr. 1, because i dont like white stiching. It makes the Straps looks always smaller.

    Looks like they're on the top of the original strap for the picture and not fitted with springbars.

    Could just be the light, but it looks to me like there's enough champagne/yellow/gold in that watch to make number deux viable--attractive even.

    to my junior eye, there is almost never a Speedy/strap combination that looks bad. Nonetheless I vote for 1 in this mix.

    No 1 for me. I really dislike contrasting stitching.

    I vote "none-of-the-above" as contrasting stitching and woodpecker holes both detract from a Speedmaster.

    What the hell, it's blue?! Didn't see that coming... Perhaps a bit too sporty?

    Also instead of a normal buckle you could fit one of Hirsch's sport deployants. I use these on a few of my leather straps to prevent undue wear on the strap, big reduction in the chances of me dropping the watch while buckling up and they give a little extra length to the strap.

    I find these fit me better than the Omega deployant

    Blue? Thats a new Information.
    You should recalibrate your White Balance on your Camera. ;-)

    Now i change from 1 to 3.
    Black with white Stiching is better than blue.
    Yes i know, i'm oldschool. ;-)

    You can choose every Colour, at least it must be black.
