I'm sending an image of my favorite Speedy strap . . .
. . . via pm, as it's from another website, and don't want to post it here publicly. It's the rubberized racing strap originally fitted to the Rattrapante Speedmaster from earlier in the prior decade, circa 2003 - 2005. These straps were available directly from Omega until a few years ago, but no longer, to the best of my knowledge; you'd have to source it from an independent Omega parts supplier.
Love Speedies, and miss mine dearly. Thankfully, I get to see it every so often on mrsnak's wrist!
Cordially,

Incoming... One I should never have let go.
Back in the fold is the benchmark of a tool watch. I have no idea why I sold my first 3570 Hesalite. Moment of stupidity. Anyway this one needs very little introduction. Few quick and nasty snaps below. Next project is to order the OEM folding clasp and s...
Great return ...
I believe that every watch aficionado must own at least one Moon watch. Congrats, Nilo
Very nice...
... wear it in good health! Btw, even if i maybe wrongly, had an image of Omega being the underdog of Rolex, but this one is clearly a winner.

...which looks to be enjoying a good life already, I must say I like how you compare the joy of wearing the Speedy with that of wearing your Nautilus. Sometimes I can't help but feel that in real life I am in the company of acquaintances (not friends) who...
Well like the Nautilus the Speedmaster has a VERY important place in history. Every time I
look at it it's like watching the History Channel or a Discovery show. This thing hasn't changed in ~50 years. Dial almost like a piece of art. It's a pure joy to own and wear. Now I can't wait to get my deployant buckle and alligator strap!
A timeless classic for sure
Now you're making me want to go to the bank to take mine out. Congratulations, and post more pics when you have your strap project completed.

a lot of watch for the buck...congrats on the pickup
Congrats!
