GingerApple 7,285 Posted September 28, 2023 I love my Speedy, but passionately facking hate the original Omega bracelet it came on. It's quite frankly the shittest Gen bracelet (on a nice watch) that I can think of. Consequently, I never wear my Speedy on bracelet and have had it on a variety of canvas/leather etc straps since I bought it from Del. However, I do miss having it on bracelet so I've been on the search for the perfect alternative. I'm not sure I've found it quite yet, but I've picked up a bracelet from Uncle Seiko that I do quite like and that will do for now - visually I like it, but it just feels a bit cheap, like the old 5 digit sub bracelets feel in comparison to the latest versions. Anyway, I'd be very grateful if anyone could share pics of cool bracelet options for their Speedy (in fact, any cool straps, not just bracelets) so that I can buy it and be as cool as you. Thanks fuckers. My Uncle Seiko below fyi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leet1983 2,063 Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) When i was looking for another bracelet for a rep omf speedmaster i came across two companies but never bit the bullet, looks good though Uncle Seiko https://unclestraps.com/en-gb/collections/speedmaster Or Forstner https://forstnerbands.com/collections/bracelets-for-omega-speedmaster-and-seamaster?utm_campaign=gs-2019-12-01&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=CjwKCAjwyNSoBhA9EiwA5aYlb8Fka4AqMwS5Is3ghK_6lG85bYZGtasYApEMqpFR74BSsGF3P_j7ExoCCosQAvD_BwE Edited September 28, 2023 by Leet1983 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted September 28, 2023 Yeah, the Uncle Seiko it's what's on it in the picture above. I have come across that flat link Forstner too - has anyone got that and if so, how is it in person? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APjumbo 3,031 Posted September 28, 2023 My favorite of them all is this forstner. Mine has seamaster endlinks at the moment, I’ve been meaning to buy some speedy endlinks for it that are not polished. The endlinks detach and are interchangeable. It has more heft to it than the flat link and balances the watch better. feels more like a oyster bracelet Forstner bracelets have a springy elastic link which adds a ton of comfort. Worth the high price. I love mine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APjumbo 3,031 Posted September 28, 2023 Second favorite is the look of this uncle seiko but with milled clasp upgrade (striped clasp) to look like the newer omega bracelet. No easy extension at all though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APjumbo 3,031 Posted September 28, 2023 The uncle seiko flat link is ok I like the brushing I don’t like the cheap clasp It has a disco ball like reflection in the light similar to a royal oak bracelet but not as refined. Feels way more vintage and jangly than my first two, so wears better on a lighter watch (Railmaster) or (FOIS) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APjumbo 3,031 Posted September 28, 2023 Least favorite, although it has the elastic link for comfort which I really love (like a pelagos bracelet but works better, is more simple) I don’t like the polished sides on mine, they look less refined than a Rolex PCL, more like “plating” It’s super thin and jangly, but would work well on a vintage omega if I had one. So am keeping it around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That looks very like an Oyster bracelet - which is basically what I'm after. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
