Speedy on Alligator
Just got an OEM Omega gator strap for the 18mm deployment. Makes a nice change from the stainless. Very comfortable too.

Looking good! Alligator is the only way I've been able to wear my Speedmaster. Never liked the bracelet.

I miss that watch but I'm sure you've given it a good home. It should look great, make sure you provide some photos!

Looks sharp! I may switch from my hirsch heavy calf to the gator.

Here's a 3573 on non OEM alligator. I personally would not pay what Omega is asking for a gator strap. I've been very happy with this one for the past 2 years.

Nothing wrong with aftermarket straps. Love the brown. However, the Omega deployant clasp is worth every penny IMO.

Thanks! Nope, this is from Freda watchstraps and is an AMAZING value. I believe I paid just under $100. For that you get very nice scale and pattern, speed pins, and the back reads - Genuine Louisiana Farm Alligator, Hand Made in Italy. I've never come across a strap that I like more... even though I've given a lot more money for straps in the past.
