Icing on the cake: Omega's own racing strap . . .
May 19, 2022,17:39 PM
. . . for Speedmasters.
This curved-end rubberized racing strap was originally designed for the rattrapante models introduced twenty years ago. Always liked the look, but independent parts vendors ran out of supplies quite some time back. Imagine my surprise when I found not one but two U.K. suppliers with stockpiles of both straps and Omega deployant clasps. Of course, I had to have a set.
The Speedmaster came several months later.
I wonder if anyone else is crazy enough to buy a strap first and then find a watch to match.

Wow!!!

. . . deserves another. Oh, and the white stuff on the strap and my hand? Talcum powder - the photo was taken right after our Wednesday afternoon pool tournament. ...
Hehehe 😉

I looked for this strap in the US for ages to no avail. Every time I asked I was told there were none left. You are a lucky man!
There's two suppliers in the UK, Chef - would you like . . .

. . . their contact info? I'll send via pm if you're interested. Cost is high, but when it comes to Omega, I tend to throw caution to the winds. 🤑 Glad to see you checking in . . . it's a pleasure seeing an old hand back again. Best, Art
Yes Please!
