It's been a while since I've worn my cal.2500 SMP on its OEM "basket weave" five-link bracelet. I know this bracelet isn't everyone's cup of tea, but expressing dislike for this bracelet is sort of like saying "I love my 1957 Chevy Bel Air, but man, do I hate tailfins on cars". This bracelet is one of the watch's iconic characteristics. And really, who needs yet another oyster look-alike? I'll stand with Prince William and Joe B. on this one 😀

Special day today - one year ago, before I was on OF and did not yet know the joy of WRUW, I had my brand-new Speedmaster on my wrist while getting married 🥰



One year later my lovely wife gave me two new straps as a gift for my Speedmasters 🥰


Love them both! And my wife of course 😁🥰

Mazel Tov for your anniversary!

Switched watches to try out a newly-arrived Kizzi Ron Evans LMP replica strap, wrapped Aldrin-style




I find the Kizzi version of the NASA replica to be a better build than its Omega counterpart and a much better value. I could only find one online source for a new Omega replica strap, priced at $US 250, whereas the Kizzi strap is priced at about $US 70.

As expected the heavens have opened up so Lanco back in the box awaiting a visit to the sales and on with a diver to walk the hounds although I doubt they will be keen 🙁

I was also keeping my eye on this Kizzie strap but the shortband version. Decided to go with a GasGasbones strap in the end;


There is also something similar by GasGasbones, don't know the quality but it's only 30 GBP;
