Stopped by the boutique today...

Omega that is. My poor man’s Daytona on a new nato. The strap was $160 plus tax but worth every penny. Such high quality.

The dial is mesmerising, and a black strap makes it pop...Glad you’re pleased with your purchase

Nice strap. I always get hung up on the price of these straps but they are of the best quality and wear great.

Love the watch. I don’t know why but I just can’t get into any nato straps. I think I am like the only person in the world that hates them.

Not even close to alone. Its distracting enough to overlook the size issue.

I don’t like them either. I wouldn’t mind straps made out of fabric but I don’t like the NATO configuration.

Congrats! It's a great watch, and shouldn't be considered a poor man's Daytona at all. Be sure to check out the dial at sunrise/sunset with the dial angled so all the texture pops out at you. Just a brilliant look!

I've tried with NATO many times. But after a couple of days I can't wait to take them off. Just not for me.

That's a beautiful watch thhough.

Nice Speedy and combo OP



I was the same about nato straps until bought one from Omega, expensive as gold but they do make the difference so comfortable thin and fits wonderfully

Could never get into NATOs either but tried that model with a black alligator strap and thought it was a great combo.
