Leather. I like those new sail cloth straps from Artem too.

I definitely prefer the bracelet on the Seamaster though…

I think the Speedy looks best on a nato.

alllexandru · 13 November 2021, 05:56 PM

All of them, each time I strap on differently it looks as good as previously

Sure thing this thread needs photos…

Bracelet only if it's a flatlinks.

rootbeer7 · 13 November 2021, 07:08 PM

NATO or vintage leather (in this case both)!!

Onti · 13 November 2021, 07:28 PM

For me, It's better on Bracelets.

arcadelt · 13 November 2021, 10:09 PM

Bracelet or leather - nothing else!

1William · 13 November 2021, 10:32 PM

I like a bracelet but absolutely enjoy leather/NATO's also. I have the 3861 that I enjoy on the new bracelet and a 1861 that I wear mostly on leather or an aftermarket bracelet from Forstner.

ratty · 13 November 2021, 10:52 PM

I don’t like nato straps, and I’m not sure about nylon straps either.

StanGMT · 13 November 2021, 10:54 PM

These all look fantastic. As I've got bracelets on both of my Rolexes I went for a change on my recent Speedy purchase and got the black leather. Love it.

Stan.

Thanks

Uncle Seiko 1450
In the meantime Forstner released also their variant of 1450, I would buy that one because the Forstner clasp is superior in my view

Thanks very much,

I really like the look of this bracelet, has it got much of a taper to it?

Thanks for this. Do you know if it tapers as much as the new Speedy pro bracelet?

I don't have the new 3861...cant help you with this.
I believe the 1450 goes from 20 to 16 and the 3861 goes from 20 to 15...but let owners to help you on this.

My vote goes for the bracelet.

drjrhc · 14 November 2021, 09:37 AM

The new 3861 bracelet tapers to 16mm at the clasp. Should be the same as that Uncle Seiko strap if I recall when I had mine.

I bought my 3861 on bracelet, mostly because I knew bracelet would be easier to move later on if I decided I wanted to. No I am in love with it. The new bracelet is marvelous, and soooooo much more comfortable than the outgoing model. I have had it two weeks, and it hasn't come off the bracelet yet. Probably won't for a bit.

Great pics everyone!
