GasGasBones looks interesting for a velcro strap, but I need 21mm for my Co-Axial Speedmaster. Nobody seems to make them in 21mm width.
I could be wrong but I recollect seeing multiple possible lug widths in the drop down menu at time of ordering mine. Maybe check it out on 30th September when he opens shop again, he closes ordering quite quickly after that date when max quantity is reached.

I can highly recommend gasgasbones, just wearing it for half a week now and comfy as f**k and incredibly cheap compared to Kizzi and omega.

I have heard nothing but good things about gasgasbones. The strap quality is very good. I have several friends with his straps and they look and wear well.

However i have tried a few times to get straps from him but he closes his shop super quickly. It is like trying to find that Popeyes chicken sandwich

I have come to the conclusion that I have a better chance at walking into a Rolex AD and being able to buy a sport model right then and there then I do getting a strap at gasgasbones.

There is a notification option on his site or just set a reminder for the first day he opens shop, takes about 3 days after that before he closes ordering.

I've had 2 straps & a few Speedmaster related extras (key fobs etc) from Gasgasbones & cannot fault the quality I put the SPV1 on my Speedmaster wore it into the Omega store in Bluewater and the manager said it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen

Whelp and now the SPV1 is out of stock again after one day. I had it in my cart but hadn't finished checkout. Dang it.

Hey - for those of you who have the SPV1, does it slip on with the spring bars attached the way the NATO does, or do you have to remove the spring bars to get this strap on?

Just wanted to bump this as I've been looking at velcro straps lately.

Could use this as a belt... 😉

Yeppers! 👍

NOTE: The Mad Dog action figure [NOT A DOLL!] had to link two Omega replica NASA straps together to accomplish the old college try...

Love it. Its a little expensive for me as a belt buckle but it works.

A marine national velcro strap is also perfect. Still, if it’s too long you can cut it and it will fit your wrist perfectly.
Found it at Etsy if I remember correctly.

I know this doesn't answer the original OP question, and it may be heresy here, but I sometimes wear my watch with the Bulova Lunar velcro strap.
