    Hello, I need the opinion of the Omega Forums: will this croco strap look good on my Speedmaster ? Or is it too shinny ?

    Thanks!

    It'll work but I always found it weird to put a dressy strap on a sporty watch.

    I like the croc straps, especially with the deployment clasp. The only way to be sure you’ll like the look is to try it on.

    Agree, a bit shiny...but its personal preference. Best advice here is to try it on and see for yourself.

    My personal opinion, try and find matte finish with contrast stitch...both these things are less dressy and my preference for a sport watch.

    I respectfully disagree !
    IMHO a Speedy works very well with a dressy strap

    NO! Be a pathetic sheep following the herd of public opinion! Croc straps on Spee-ee-eeeedmasters are baaaa-aa-aaa-aaaad.

    I would find something simpler. Don't really like the closely spaced stitching and color of stitch.

    Too busy looking

    To the originator of the thread: Matters of style must be left to the owner of the watch, right? Wear what makes you happy and what you think looks nice with your Speedmaster. It doesn't matter if anyone here agrees. I've arrived at a place where I want all of my old Speedmasters on Champion mesh bands, but a few years ago, I loved them on NATO straps. The thing that never worked for me were the original bracelets. Nearly all were cheaply made, to my way of thinking.

    Try to contrast the dial with a black strap instead of trying to match the brown, it’s too expected.

    "Expected" is a nice way of saying boring...
