Re: Speedy Bracelet
In Response To: Speedy Bracelet ()

I think it is a styling thing...in my opinion, the Bond bracelet is too much- it takes away from the beauty of the watch by attracting your eye to the shiny, large Bond bracelet. The Speedy bracelet is just a more classic look.

: Is it just me, or does it seem to anyone else
: like the Speedmaster bracelet is an attempt
: by Omega to save money and scrimp on the
: quality of the watchband?

: I purchased the 2254.50 and couldn't believe
: how the speedmaster bracelet was designed.
: Hate the tapering design down to the narrow
: little 'girly-man' clasp. Beyond that the
: edges are sharp and seem unfinished.

: The Bond bracelet is wide along the entire
: length, has a heavy duty size clasp and the
: outer edges are rounded off for a more
: luxury feel. I managed to snag a used bond
: bracelet and replaced it. Looks AND feels
: ten times better.

: I suppose now I will have to keep my speedy
: bracelet because God knows I wouldn't want
: the model number on the box and cards to
: mismatch the actual bracelet thats on the
: watch if I ever want to resell or trade up.

: Geez!!
