Wow! That looks great! I could imagine that on my blue dial SS Globemaster. In fact that's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for to replace the OEM stap which is blue/black. Yours seems to be brown/black. Would you mind telling me where you purchased it and the product code?

I have two Bellini straps, brown and black. Awesome quality at a great price. For me, the only downside is my wrongly sized wrist, can't properly center the watch.

They are available through Cousinsuk.com so for us in the EU they are really convenient to source.

Here are mine:



On topic, some pics from today. On a quick getaway with the family:

New arrival here ! ::psy::

Have been intrigued by this Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope model for some time. I just like the look...what can I say...must be the "arteeeste" in me. 😁 So with @watchdaddy1 's enabling as part of my blame-game rationalization... I pulled the trigger.

Also ordered the OEM Millanese bracelet...which arrived at the same time...like they were meant to beeeeee......


I think this will make for a fun summer combo. YaY!!!

I just swapped out the original dark blue strap on my GM for a dark brown OEM Omega. I had expected them to be the same, but they are slightly different sizes on the 6 o'clock side. The 12 o'clock side are identical in length. This is what I measured on the 6 o'clock side:-

.............................GM Original vs Replacement OEM
S-Bar to 1st hole......40mm..................45mm
S-Bar to 2nd hole.....47mm..................52mm
S-Bar to 3rd hole......54mm..................59mm
S-Bar to 4th hole.......61mm.................66mm

I had the original strap on the 4th hole, so the replacement is either tight at 59mm or loose at 66mm.

Looking a bit closer at both straps I see that one is marked 62, the other 65. I had expected that the "65" would simply be longer, but it actually has a different start point for the 1st hole, not just a bit of extra length at the tip.

Can you check the hole to spring bar distance? Would be interested to know how it compares.

Just picked this up from a service.

When posting high quality American pocket watches like Hamiltons, movement photographs are required.

Its like a rule or something..... just ask..... um..... somebody....

Sure, as I am back home I shall. Have some OEM Omegas to compare to (both rubber and alligator, 22 and 20 mm).
