Is it crazy that I bought my straps before I bought the watch?

I am in Escrow currently on an apartment complex that I bought with a business partner. No big purchases until it closes this coming Thursday.

I did buy a couple Rubber B straps though in anticipation

Haha I did the same for my Explorer 2.

It was stuck at the AD during lockdown so I got Rubber B straps for like 3ish weeks before the watch.

Not crazy, when you see the right strap buy it, it may not be available later.

Not at all! I ordered two beautiful leather JPM straps from Watch Obsession for a Speedy Pro I was planning on buying. A few days after receiving the straps, I got the email from AD that he had a 126710BLNR for me! I decided not to get the Speedy and returned the straps. Great customer service from Watch Obsession.
