Don't Sweat the Decision Too Much...

: Thanks to John R.'s help, I was able to narrow
: the choice for my next Omega down to the
: Railmaster. John suggested the brown strap,
: but I am still not sure. Anyone have an
: opinion or prefer the black strap?

Aftermarket straps are dirt cheap compared to factory Omega straps, and eventually they wear out anyway from perspiration, etc. Since you'll be getting the Omega factory deployment clasp/buckle with the watch, you can buy the watch on one color strap and just buy an aftermarket strap in the other color. You can swap the deployment clasp out when a strap wears out or if you choose to change straps (from black to brown, etc.). Just an option to consider....
