I recently noticed Uncle Seiko has Velcro straps that look pretty nice.

Not bad. I'd like a white one though.

Hey, just a heads up there's a new supplier of NASA replica watchbands. Check out Luna Replicas' version here:

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]...

Thanks. Looks like it's 9 dollars!

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):

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.

Some of the cool OF kids wear the Omega replica NASA strap during special events...like going to the Dunkin’ Donuts...

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...
