Don't worry, you'll be fine. *PIC*

In Response To: Re: Suggestions??? ()

The strap will not be too thin for the SMP. It's very rugged. It's also quite broad and looks really good on the wrist. A big watch with a wide strap, what more can a man ask for? ;-)

As for the spring bars, I don't think that the forces are greater than with a "regular" strap. And there a nice addition: If one spring bar happens to give up the ghost, the watch is held by the other. (See pic below.) That's a bonus as opposed to a strap. Then again, on the stock Omega bracelet the spring bar is so tightly fitted that I can hardly imagine it breaking, and maybe that's the case with the Omega rubber straps as well.

The buckle is less flimsy than it looks, BTW.
