New strap
Put the silver snoopy on the speedy pro. Given my short wrists I had to source it from Jean Rousseau. However, after purchasing the clasp from omega, they said they have a short version. That’s after a couple months ago they said they only had one size. At any rate, I love it because it gives that nato look without the added thickness and bulk of extra material.

Great choice! I did the same with my Speedy Tuesday. I also have purchased a half dozen straps or so to go along with it.

I got something similar on my IWC but they are a bit cheap and stiff. How does your feel? Do you have a link to that strap from the jean-rousseau.com site?
Mine dont last too long but I got a box full of them so dont mind going through one very 6 or so months until they dry up.

I picked up a B&R strap that looks very similar to the Omega strap. Love the look

I’m quietly seeking a Speedy strap for Chrimbo. These look pretty cool. Anyone had any experience?

Alright update folks. Given my 6.5 inch wrist getting the right fit can be difficult. I found with hole 3, it was too snug (leaving marks) and with hole 4 too loose (sliding about 2 inches). So I figured, I would take things into my own hands and drill a new hole...hole 3.5. I have no watch tools, but my black and decker drill did the job nicely. I thought well the strap is too nice to make an extra hole, but then I thought the strap was too expensive not to wear and be satisfied with...so I drilled it and the fit is now excellent!
