My first successful strap change without any new scratches 😂 Took the mostly unused Trilogy extra straps and changed the white Velcro to a black vintage leather. Changes the watch totally. What do you think? ...
I like it.

It focuses your attention on the watch. The lume shot is also very nice.
That’s right!

The focus is now on the dial and bezel with the black strap blending in. Thanks.
Looks great !

It will be quite special feeling to get your birth year. Omega don’t make lower than 2000 pcs nowadays, except for the recent 50th anniversary moonshine gold.

I like the black strap

I think you’re absolutely correct...

Looking up Omega website, the Trilogy watches are 19mm while the Alaska Project shows 20mm. Thanks for the answer....I’m ok to accept this 1mm though, no need to get a new strap.
I like it!! Looks great.

Other than the gap may be a little too much from the strap to the case.
Afraid

I am afraid to make scratches when i want to swap a strap on my Omega. So i do skip a strap change and then it forget. But when it is old and dirty, the time wil come i must do. I can chose to let do it at an AD of Omega. Strap changing is not difficult, ...
I’m afraid as hell too...

I’m using scotch tape wrap around lugs in this case and it helped. Usually like you, whenever I’m visiting AD, I ask them to help. Yes, the straps like ones use in Patek with slide pins are good.

Straps are always a very personal thing and my choice would be either a bracelet or a good quality black NATO. Have a great week. The Captain

. . . on bracelets. Same applies to Mk II, III, IV, and V, as well as the Flightmaster. Black dialed models work fine both ways, maybe even better on a strap. One particularly appealing combo is the rubberized racing strap tailored for the original rattra...
