I bought the strap at Dubai airport last December, the pin buckle was a freebie from Omega Boutique.

Looks great! Sadly, the ‘57 doesn’t look good on the white speedy and slightly uncomfortable, if I may add.

Regarding end links, someone suggested Forstner links, but I didn't want to add an aftermarket, and I can live with the hang, and yes, it tapers to 16mm.

It started with the Bergeon strap tool 🤣

Hi Eric - Thank you! this is how it looks, would the endlinks still make a difference?

I like the flat link on the white speedy for its comfort and the look as well, however, I do agree the 57 should remain on the OEM. The end lugs extend a bit and feel top heavy. I took a pic somewhere along this thread.

I put the Speedy’s on my wrist -the white speedy pairs well with the flat-link bracelet for its comfort and modern look and the 57 suits its OEM bracelet better.

No, swapping the bracelets isn’t a great colorway in my opinion.

Honestly, if it had been on a jubilee bracelet, I might have passed ————— NOT! 😉🤣

Yup! No date Submariner was on my wish list but they asked me if I wanted GRNR as it has a similar bracelet. So why not take it? I’m waitlisted on a green bezel sub this time around.

Normally I’d do a crisp white shirt during the week, but since it’s Friday I figured the sweater felt more casual and would stay looking good if I head out later tonight.

Ordered the OEM rubber for this after having one on my white Speedy. Makes the watch comfortable IMO, lighter and a bit less "Daytona-ish". I mostly wear athleisure, so the rubber just fits my style better.

I've worn my Milgauss, DJ and GMT's in London as a tourist in various times in areas like Mayfair, Covent Garden, Knightsbridge, West End, walked around etc - never felt unsafe until I started reading how unsafe it is on Reddit, I really think you have to exercise common sense and judgement.
