Congratulations. The sapphire sandwich was my first (and only so far) Speedmaster and it's a winner.

Congrats on the new speedy pro, and for going against the grain choosing the sapphire sandwich. I made the same decision two years ago and haven't looked back.

Some recommended sources...

https://strapsco.com/product-categor...a-watch-bands/

https://www.hirschstraps.com/collect...h-watch-straps

https://www.etsy.com/market/omega_watch_strap

...and of course...Amazon!

One of the great features of the Speedy Pro is the (almost) universal 20mm lug width size.

Have fun - Ben.
