What's your favourite strap for your Speedy?

Well the steel 9300's the closest you're going to get unfortunately, as the 9300 is a two-register design:

Certainly not impossible that it could be modified to separate the hour and minute subdials (I'll leave that to those more knowledgeable than I) but I doubt it'll happen.

Loving this vintage look and feel leather strap, in Bark Brown (also available in Dark Khaki and Rust Brown).

Ah, yes. This is the Speedmaster Co-Axial Chronometer, Reference Number 311.30.44.50.01.002. I call it the transitional Speedy. It blends all the design qualities of the traditional Professional (42mm) into the modern coaxial (44mm) case. It's also got a "transitional" movement. The 3313 is Omega's first coaxial escapement retrofitted into a Frederic Piguet base movement. A lot of these failed at first, so they updated the movement into B and C versions. Mine is a B version, but will get upgraded by Omega to a C when I get it serviced. In the later 9300, Omega built the entire movement around the co-axial escapement. Meanwhile, this model got discontinued. I personally think it's a home run of a model, especially if they could put a 9300 in it. It's got the date window, larger case, and the traditional Speedmaster styling.
I freakin' LOVE that model!! Never saw it before but I want one. 馃榿

If you can find a private seller, you should be able to find it for the mid $3k's. I decided to wait patiently for this particular model, and one popped up on a sister forum one day, and I jumped on it. If you can get the serial number before you buy, you can check it with Omega to see which version of the 3313 it has. Definitely avoid the 3313a if you can.

Wait patiently. You're funny! I'll wait - $5400 is more than I'm willing to spend. But "patiently"?? I'll be obsessing for a while! 馃榾 Thanks for the tips on what to look for. If this was to be my first Speedmaster I'd pay the price, but as I already have a 44mm co-axial Speedy I will endeavor to persevere and hunt.

Just picked up a DSotM nylon strap and put my deployment clasp on it. New favorite.

I think it really depends on which Speedy as well as your likes.

That strap is most definitely the nicest strap for the FOIS I've seen so far, perfect!

Stripy Zulu style. Love how the watch looks great on so many different straps. Next stop - black leather.

I really like this suede strap I bought on eBay from Italy. Also, a rugged nato is pretty nice 馃榾

Put on the Silver Snoopy Cordura strap on my Italian Albino mod. Does anyone know if the leather lining is rubberized? It feels like it, but I am not sure.
