$12.00 Ritche from Amazon. I like this strap. Very comfortable and the stitching matches the Lume.

amazing that a $12 strap makes the watch look like is worth several thousand dollars! Nice! 馃榾

That's the exact strap on my Seamaster. I have the deployment clasp on it as well. Perhaps the most comfortable strap I've ever owned.

to add some oil on your fire 馃榿


Thanks @kov !!! Four straps ordered for a grand total under $250 (I have to pay more for shipping to Canada) - what an amazing value. The one's I've chosen (all pics from B & R's site, not all have watermarks, but hopefully that's okay).

If the quality is even half of how good they look, I'm stoked.

Yessir! It's got a really nice color and texture, feels really sturdy as well.


Thankyou, looks great! Might just have to get me one too!

Doesn't the 1171 come with the very old clasp. Major weight change. Wow

Just some friendly advice - if you can, cancel those transactions as they are not authentic in any way. Those have been discussed numerous times on these forums and the fit, finish and operation are very inconsistent.

Remember, on this forum especially research and the "search" function are your friends.

Thanks again for the heads-up. For future reference, although my order was past the auto-cancellation window, I contacted the seller, who politely agreed to cancel both order and my money was immediately refunded.

Not surprised as I would assume this type of listing relies on positive seller feedback and ratings.

Are we able to purchase an 1171/633 from an AD/OB?
Sure, you could also try Ofrei (US) or Cousins (EU - 拢295).

The Speedmaster is one of those watches that seems to work with just about any leather you can imagine.

I enjoy mixing and matching OEM (Omega) straps that were purchased with other watches:

Here's a classic Moonwatch on a calfskin strap (with brushed SS deployant buckle) that I bought on an Aqua Terra



and here's an Apollo-Soyuz 35th on a black crocodile strap (with polished SS deployant buckle) that was purchased with the Moonwatch shown in the above photo.

Both were purchased from WatchGecko: The first is a Eulit Palma Pazific, and the second is their "Simple handmade Italian Leather":

Evidently though WatchGecko has doubled their prices. When I purchased that second strap in June of last year, it was $25, rather than the almost $50 they are charging now. Still a nice strap, but was a steal at $25.

anyone feel like nato straps cut into your wrist. I have my speedy on the OEM nato strap and the bottom metal piece cuts into my wrist.

I have an inexpensive Civo nato from Amazon (g10 rounded buckles), and it's one of the most comfortable straps I have.
