flavor flav Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 i cut a 22mm blue shark strap to 20mm to have a wider strap and sportier look as this is a pretty beefy watch. i'm not sure if i like it or not. i know i can't stand the rep bracelet though because the screws and clasp so i thought i'd try this. love it or hate it?

DWSmoot Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Like the idea and the band width....but looks a little "fem" to me. Might be the color also.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the color also.... true.....it's an experiment i think a really thick black genuine alligator with blue stitching on an omega clasp would be amazing! but i can't seem to find one anywhere........

Chronus Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 true.....it's an experiment i think a really thick black genuine alligator with blue stitching on an omega clasp would be amazing! but i can't seem to find one anywhere........ Get a custom-made HKTan And I like that look with the strap... I have a Zenith with a dark blue dial and a denim lizard skin strap, maybe I should try that strap on my SMP Chrono and see how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 A bit different, and better than I had expected.. A black or blue ribber strap on an Omega deployment clasp would have been a killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Tracy Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I think blue shark looks great,.. I had a seamaster that I put a thicker, less refined blue shark strap on, which I thought was very handsome as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfischman Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Your blue shark strap is great. I really like a blue strap on the SMP. I got one for my wife's SMP Chrono and think it's a good match: No, that's not my wife's wrist...it's mine JF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfischman Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 @ flavor flav - I got barbecued on another forum about my wife's hairy arms , so I am now specifying that they belong to me in advance BTW, love your avatar...I think the Ebel 1911 BTR is one of the best looking watches around...we need this in a rep ASAP.

jfischman Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 @nxuan - Good suggestion. As soon as I work up the guts to remove the bezel, I will adjust it! JF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 The strap looks a little thin for the size of the watch to me but I do like the color combo. ...but the replica....unbelieveable! These are some of the best detailed pics of the SMP Chrono I've seen yet. It is, except for the reparable bezel insert misalignment, it's a spectacular replica. Best of luck.

Watchmeister Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I would prefer a dark alligator as well. Do the He valves work on any Omega reps? Or at least screw or unscrew? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I would prefer a dark alligator as well. Do the He valves work on any Omega reps? Or at least screw or unscrew? Just curious. If you go diving deep enough to need an He valve, don't use a Rep as your timer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yeah, that much I figured out. I was really just curious. It looks like the latest 243 has an He button that pushes in. I suspect it may not do much but it is nice to have another button you can push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the screw can be turned. It does not come off but move a couple of rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I would suggest the Hirsch Leonardo to close that gap between the case and the lugholes. Ofrei has nice straps for the speedmaster that fit SMP cases perfectly. However, I feel they not worth the $$. But that's subjuctive, of course.
