Re: New strap on my SpeedMaster Racing
In Response To: New strap on my SpeedMaster Racing ()

I'd say you have a perfect match there! I actually saw someone with this watch with metal bracelet in the pits this past weekend at the Petit LeMans race at Road Atlanta. Your setup would have been right at home in that setting -- very cool.

: Don't see too many people w/this particular
: model... in fact I've only seen one other
: person on here that has one. :)

: I wanted to get a non-metal strap for everyday
: wear (I'm on the keyboard most of the day).

: Ended up deciding to try the carbon strap since
: it would match up w/the carbon fiber dial...
: and then the red stitching to match the red
: lettering and indices outline.

: As you can see, the carbon dial is not very
: noticeable except in certain light angles.

: What do you guys think? It's definitely more
: comfortable than the bracelet... though the
: bracelet is already comfortable! And more
: tolerable for everyday wear.
