I had this croc/alligator/caiman strap in my watch drawer for the last 4-5 years and just remembered it was a 22mm - the same lug width as the PO.

It is very comfortable. What do you think? It's needs a little more padding, but I kinda like it.

Yeah, I think it needs a little more padding but not bad, not bad.

Is the paint on the Seamaster a different shade of orange than the numbers and the tip of the second hand? Or is it red?

I don t like overpadded straps,this one is okay just bit narrow for such a big watch

But one is painted (the "seamaster") and the others are what looks like anodized. The second hand tip looks like paint. In certain light they all look the same. In other types of lighting, they change and look a little different.

That looks great. I have always wanted an ABP, just never had the guts to go through the order process. I also never had a watch that I didn't have a perfect strap for (oyster for Rolex, mesh for this).

How much would something like that cost, if you don't mind me asking?

OP: is that alligator strap original Omega? I actually likely a LOT. I think the Omega PO an pull off a stap so much better than other watches. I wore a friends Seamaster PO 45mm with orange stitching on a rubber strap with that awesome buckle Omega uses and I loved it. It's a VERY versitile watch, looks awesome on a strap, leather, and of course a bracelet.

I think you should try it with the rubber strap and deployment clasp
