I'm a stainless steel band guy. Gives it more class and style. I think strap are more for sporty people who physical work with the watches on

You can make the 21mm DSOM strap fit a 20mm lug width but its not just immediately easy. The 21mm part which goes between the lugs is solid plastic so have have to compress it with mole grips or similar to reduce the width to 20mm - you cant just squash the plastic by hand.

I think its a great strap but finding a 5mm tongue buckle isnt easy. A regular 4mm one will work fine and can be found in black too if you want.

So i got my DSOM strap today from otto frei. I crimped it down very slightly from 21mm to 20mm so now it fits the watch casing (my 2201.50.00 PO). I the omega buckle I got for $22 works fine but the tongue is like 1mm thin. It works but isn't pretty. I looked again on the otto frei site and didn't see an 18mm one with a 4mm or 5mm tongue (besides the $218 one). @nokaoi1 what part number is the buckle that you got? Yours looks way better than mine. Thanks

This is the exact one I got, with 4mm tongue. Great company to deal with as well.

I think it looks great, but I'm biased to the straps vs bracelets usually. Can't beat a good nato, band, or fine leather strap! Bracelets do still have their place though, don't get me wrong.. Just my opinion
