I've never been a fan of original Omega steel bracelets - I suppose the issue is that by today's standards, they are fairly poorly constructed. In addition, I find bracelets uncomfortable as my wrist swells and contracts and I can never seem to get the ad...  

As much as I love my 70s Omegas, the bracelets are PITA, the leather strap looks great and ofcourse the flightmaster is a fantastic watch. Thanks for sharing. S

Thank you for a thought prevoking post! I've never really liked the idea of a flightmaster on leather other than the OEM rally style that it came on as an option back in the day i.e. the one shown here: To be frank I don't really care for these OEM rallys...
