Just put a brown leather strap on my SM300.
Still figuring out if I like it or not.....

What strap/bracelet would be your choice for the SM300?

Brown leather...

Black Carbon...

1171 Bracelet...

Mesh Bracelet...

Black leather...

JJ Irani · 8 July 2007, 06:10 AM

I quite like the look of the mesh bracelet, but I hear they aren't very strong or dependable.

Both the black straps look pretty cool too!!

G.J · 8 July 2007, 06:12 AM

Trust me JJ, the Omega Mesh is built like a TANK...

And extremely comfortable..

Fully agree with the comfort aspect. I had a MIDO Ocean Star once several years ago which came with its original mesh bracelet. Didn't last too long.

But I'm sure OMEGA would have made vast improvements since then. If you can trust it, then I think it looks superb. Go for it.

G.J · 8 July 2007, 06:22 AM

It's a very thick and heavy bracelet JJ..

And if anyone thinks it's a hair puller, no way..

But the SM300 is now on the brown leather strap, and it's growing on me every minute..

JJ Irani · 8 July 2007, 06:28 AM

I have to admire your photographic skills, GJ....excellent!

Yes, the mesh bracelet does look pretty strong and I love the OMEGA logo indented on the clasp. Way too cool!! Enjoy it, pal!!

G.J · 8 July 2007, 06:35 AM

Thanks JJ, you are very kind..

Whahahahahahahaahahaha

Too funny JJ...

amanda · 8 July 2007, 09:10 AM

Nice watch GJ - I voted mesh too, I think they are very coool.. next would be black carbon, the other bracelet, leather and lastly the brown leather.. thats my choices!!!

Wear the 300 in the berry best of health!

mike · 8 July 2007, 09:25 AM

I'll make it clean sweep so far for the mesh Gerard.

Of course the only REAL way I can tell is for you to send me the watch with all the variations so I can be sure. Shouldn't take all THAT long!

problmchylde · 8 July 2007, 09:45 AM

Definitely the mesh

Thats 1 watch that is still missing from my collection.You are a lucky guy......

roadcarver · 8 July 2007, 01:39 PM

1171 bracelet for me... the mesh looks too pimpy IMHO.

dman · 8 July 2007, 02:01 PM

Was close for me but I picked the carbon just a hair over the bracelet.

This would be my vote too.

But it looks great in all the pics!

C.J. · 9 July 2007, 07:28 AM

I've been wearing my 2254 on the black rubber so far and loving it, so that would be my vote. But, the mesh is a really, really, really close second

Alcan · 9 July 2007, 07:43 AM

I voted 1171. The mesh bracelet looks too busy on that watch IMHO.

JJ,
Your watch in this pic doesn't look like Bluesey? It looks like a YM.

That was his last "true love", "one and only" and "one that he would never part with". But, it's gone, now.

dman · 9 July 2007, 12:22 PM

I voted carbon, but I want to have a write in for a NATO, I think that would make that baby look very nice!

Now that pic was taken a while back. I see you still had the YM in that pic.

Thanks, Ian....appreciate your kind words.

Yes, Steve....taken almost a year and a half ago.

Andad · 9 July 2007, 05:52 PM

Black leather would be my choice.

Andad · 9 July 2007, 06:21 PM

oops

leopardprey · 9 July 2007, 08:51 PM

Second Dman, I also voted Black Carbon, but think an Olive Green Zulu strap would look bestand be the most comfortable. Check out LApolicegear.com and do a search for Zulu straps.

Naitch · 10 July 2007, 12:12 AM

No rubber dive strap? I would of thought that might look good on a Seamaster.

It is in fact the TT Blue YM....which I sold off last December prior to Christmas and then got the Blue Sub.
