    I am curious. If this watch were yours, what strap would you put it on?. The off white dial is throwing me for a loop.
    The red reticle lines are so fine I am not sure I can use a strap that would play off the colors.

    Very cool design. It does seem quite tempting to put red grained calf leather strap.

    I'd be tempted to put an ΩBOR on it, but I don't think you're a bracelet man.

    Check out all the hodinkee straps. They are awesome and have some sick, cool vintage leather ones. I have them on my speedys and Subs and they are awesome!

    Think you should get leather with a hint of red in it

    Have @jankoxxx do a black leather with white/cream and or red stitching for it.

    That's one of his on the Speedy Date/racing. I highly recommend messaging him for a custom order.

    Ok, I found a 1125 bracelet with 18mm end pieces in my parts storage. This might work for now, seeing as the 1125 has been used on Speedmasters and I guess this qualifies as a Speedmaster Companion.

    Sorry, but bracelet looks like crap. Black leather with white stitching. Medium padding

    I agree it's not the best look. I have done the black with white stitching straps before and I have grown tired of that look.
    I was thinking about this one to contrast the creamy ivory dial;

    The little bit of red may throw it off. I would go dark brown or reddish brown.

    Here's my vanilla dial. There's no red accent but I think the alligator sets off the dial well.

    nice watch.
    i feel, a vintage nato that matches the color of your dial would be awesome... thumb_IMG_1807_1024.jpg

    I think something like this red shark NATO to make those red lines pop!
