·Also, I think the Commander's watch OEM nato would look great on the standard moonwatch.
What's your favourite strap for your Speedy?

That one looks exactly like the suede straps I have bought from cheapestnatostraps for $15...

·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.
Interior leather isn't rubberized but is tanned/finished in a manner that's highly water-resistant. The OEM maker did an immersion test for that specific leather and stated that after 30 mins, and left overnight to dry, there were no ill effects on the finish nor did it crack.
I've used my custom Silver Snoopy on numerous watches that have seen extensive exposure to water and have never had any issues. And the same could be said of the coated nylon natos and other deploy straps sold by Omega and made by the same atelier.
That one looks exactly like the suede satraps I have bought from cheapestnatostraps for $15...
On that note @Archer, any thoughts on how the lining leather of the cheapnatostraps "Suede" models hold up? I had a JPM suede strap that while insanely comfortable wore down really quickly in comparison to the regular tanned leather.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerTo be fair the cheapnatostraps suede models don't have the liner leather interior, so they probably wear and break in differently than the one's mentioned from the 'bay.

I've had 2 different types of suede straps from that place, - the first one was all suede inside and out, very comfortable, but eventually the strap started to split apart. I ordered more, and the new strap looks like the one in that eBay auction - exactly like it. It has the same stitch patterns. But these had an almost plastic layer in the strap, so I'm not sure if they are even real suede. Didn't like these at all as the layer inside the strap made it much stiffer and far less comfortable. The good thing is these are not a lot of money, so it's not a big deal if something doesn't suit me.

·I put a Hadley Roma army green canvas strap on my x-33. I had ordered a green HR Cordura strap before, but somehow did not like the shade of green and texture on it. I like this combination much better. Amazing how we WIS obsess over small details.

·I'm swapping between the black nylon Omega DSotM strap with deployment clasp and a black nylon ZuluDiver.

I guess if you have that many, you just throw them away as you go.😁

It's really just impressive laziness. Instead of lots of straps for your Speedy, you just have a Speedy for every strap. Saves time. 😁

Ha! It's funny you mention that. I love the idea of wearing only one watch...but I have so many straps that I probably should just buy a bunch of the same watches. lol
The Hirsch Performance series (like the Robby above) is what I always come back to. They're great "do-all" straps.
