Hey, just a heads up there's a new supplier of NASA replica watchbands. Check out Luna Replicas' version here:
https://lunareplicas.com/collections/flight-gear-1
Thanks for posting that link, sir. 👍

They’ve got some pretty cool stuff there...and although not Speedy related, I was eyeballing this Glycine kit which I think is pretty sweet...and I learned that Pete Conrad wore a Glycine...very cool...😎...

If anyone is interested...here’s a visual reference regarding my original Omega replica NASA strap...a patina difference over a period of about four years [2017 - 2021]. I would estimate that my original Omega replica NASA strap was worn at least one or two times per week during that period. Still my all-time favorite strap...I really dig it...

2017...


2021 [today]...

kidding...
El-Oh-El

I tried wearing mine on the Omega supplied long strap as well as a Lunar Replicas short strap. I liked the long strap better, wasn’t too impressed with the Lunar Replicas strap. Prefer a NATO or bracelet over both but the Omega long strap would be cool I’m with certain outfits/situations.

Received recently my Kizzi one, military green, very good textile quality.
And I like wear it like this (not the "standard" NATO way):

Thanks. Looks like it's 9 dollars!
No, the Velcro watch bands are $28.55. They offer a lunar mission patch for $9-something.

There’s always the Rothco protective nylon band which utilizes Velcro for securing to the wrist as well as for the protective flap...according to my calculations, 99.73% of the population hates the Rothco...I like it. 😁

This is far best way of wearing it, since you do not have any layers of strap underneath the case. I wear my Kizzi same way. Also I have Moonwatch velcro, that I have just shortened to the same length ad Kizzi. Will post some photos soon.

Slightly off topic but @Mad Dog I wanted to make sure you've seen this...

Dude...I’ve seen that over 100 times...and I plan on seeing it at least 100 more times...because it’s F A N F R E A K I N G T A B U L O U S. 👍
