The speedy is such a chameleon...I'd say it almost depends on the outfit! I am partial to this brown strap though

Both. I wear mine on its bracelet in the summer, and then I use an OEM black alligator/deployant setup in the winter.

That’s nice! I like how the strap is flat across the top rather than rounded by padding. |

I think my speedy gets more wrist time with a leather strap or a NATO. Every blue moon I throw it back on the bracelet just to remind myself that it looks great with all.

The Speedmaster looks great on either leather or bracelet , but prefer mine on the bracelet.

If one or the other I prefer the steel bracelet. I also think that the watch looks breat on the OEM NATO's and leather straps.

I struggle with this. In the last 6 months I have had the bracelet, various natos, and the silver snoopy strap. But put it back on the bracelet this weekend. I may be one of the few, but find the bracelet is every bit as comfortable as my 16610 or my 116520 (gave to my wife). It just sits perfectly on my wrist. While I like the nato strap, I
Find they get caught on my cuffs now that we are in cold weather here on the north east, as well as jacket sleeves, etc. I also find the style very nice. There are many that get nastalgic about the old bracelets with the flat links, and I have had them on. What I can say is the watch head feels more balanced with the modern heavier bracelet. I never really thought the flat link looked good against the lugs and watch case which are curved and have rounded edges. The flat links look less integrated. |

I just bought a Silver Snoopy strap and look forward to trying that after I source a deployment buckle. I hear they are very comfortable - what did you think of yours? |

I love the look of the silver snoopy. I had to drill an in between hole to get just the right fit, which I did with a drill bit lol. I found the bracelet to slide under the shirt cuff easier than the silver snoopy so as the weather changed I put on the bracelet. The silver snoopy is a nylon type materials and so needs me to help it under the cuff, where the bracelet slides under. However it was very comfortable and it will see more action in the spring. I am in the minority here that the omega bracelet really fits me almost perfectly so makes it harder for me to choose what to wear it on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

After installing the micro adjustment clasp, I have to say I much prefer the bracelet.

Is that the standard clasp or an option?

I use to exclusively wear a Speedy on a brown toned strap. However, once I discovered and implemented the adjustable clasp for its bracelet I have had trouble leaving the it.

I like the versatility of having both look awesome. The bracelet is on most of the time though.

I feel like most Omega’s look better on straps or rubber.
