Moonphase speedmaster

I am new to Omega. Just bought the bicolor bezel GMT Planet Ocean and love it! Looking to get the moonphase watch on strap. I am thinking of either the rose gold or the yellow gold. Wondered who had one and any thoughts on how it wears on the wrist? Bulky? Classy? Sleek? Any down sides? I like the blue moonphase but would like it better on a bracelet I think but it is not offered that way. Any thoughts and pics would be helpful. Thanks :)

I have the moonphase but black on leather strap. I love the watch (except that I'm having to send it back because the moon phase isn't advancing, no biggie, I'm sure they'll sort it out). It sits a little higher than my Rolex Exp II because of the display back but it feels fine and looks great.

You can order a metal bracelet for $660 directly from omega.

I didn’t know you could order a bracelet by itself. Will it fit the blue moonphase? I know with some watches like the Daytona on a leather strap or oysterflex strap you cannot put a metal bracelet on those watches as apparently it will not work. Did not know if that was the same with Omega or not. Thanks for all your help.

The blue moon version is utterly awesome--non ceramic of course.
