montydog Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi everyone, I'm close to buying my next rep which will probably be this: I'm thinking of replacing the bracelet (don't like bracelets) with this: which is waterproof shark skin and comes in this lovely blue and with a 20mm lug fitting. Firstly, am I correct in thinking that the 20mm is the right size for this watch? Secondly, what do you guys reckon on how it will look? and finally, should I go for a deployment clasp or not? Apparently, you could buy a similar sharksin strap with the watch direct from Omega so It's pretty authentic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue will totally complement the dial/bezel color. If it clashes (unlikely but possible) replace it for the same strap, but in dark brown. Sounds a weird combination, but trust me, it will work 3. Deployment clasp or buckle... Entirely your choice there, all comes down to personal preferences... Are you someone who likes to just 'slap a watch on quick', or do you like to take time to make sure it's properly buckled on the right notch? Personally, for ease of operation, I prefer deployment clasps over buckles. Some watches, like the PO, I tollerate for having buckles, but, this Omega deployment clasp would look really sharp on that watch: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 this Omega deployment clasp would look really sharp on that watch: TeeJay, I need a deployment buckle for a leather strap for my Speedmaster Moonie. Do you know a good source for these with the omega markings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 TeeJay, I need a deployment buckle for a leather strap for my Speedmaster Moonie. Do you know a good source for these with the omega markings? The only source I know of, is Ofrei.com. That's where I got that image from. But. They are gen items, so gen prices. I really like the 2254.50 on rubber that Flav has in his sig, and oneday, I plan on owning the same combination. But. I'll likely buy a $50 rep of the watch, it amuses me that the strap/clasp will cost four times the amount of the watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 TeeJay, I need a deployment buckle for a leather strap for my Speedmaster Moonie. Do you know a good source for these with the omega markings? Silix has the rep version of these. Double push button versions as well as non-push button versions.
