What do you guys think about this milanese strap? Waiting for a rubber strap to come in and putting this on in the meantime. I’m having a hard time deciding if this is dressier or not vs the original. (more pics in thread.)

Personally not a fan of Milanese strap, just looks off. Maybe it’s the variation in thickness?

like

This is the thinner version of the two versions. Wanted to try this one first before I got the thicker one. I’ll wear it around for a couple of days and see how it feels.

I like that better than the og bracelet, but I’ve never been a big fan of it. The watch itself is forever a classic tho!

I like Milanese straps but not with this watch. And to answer your question, it is less dressy than the original

I rather like the Milanese with this watch. They both look good though

I think that mesh would work but I’d go with something a little more substantial. Little pricier, but I believe Staib is the company that makes mesh bracelets for Breitling. I have one (a Staib, not a Breitling) and it’s very very high quality, particularly the clasp.

I have this watch as well. I honestly love the original bracelet. I’ve bought a couple other natos from omega but I always go back.

You get slightly beefier mesh straps if that helps proportionately

Prefer the original, the proportions seem better

Meh - not a fan of the Milanese here, have you tried a canvas NATO? Otherwise, I’m partial to the original, but it’s your watch and your wrist, rock what feels best!

Appreciate all the feedback!

Has anyone seen Omega’s new Seamaster? Thoughts? I mean the only thing that’s stopped me from going 20,000 ft underwater is the right watch…unfortunately at 45.5mm in diameter and 56mm lug to lug, it’s too big for my small wrists. Oh well, guess I won’t be going underwater. Just kidding haha - I think it’s cool and I do like that they ditched the HEV

The more I think about it the more I like the idea, so unless bowl leader shoots it down: let’s build him a watch. We can select a parts list, I’ll document the process, and then we can donate it in recognition of the work that goes into making this a great space.
