I really like this combo!
Explorer II on Omega X-33 Kevlar NASA strap.

kcmo · 23 April 2010, 10:38 AM

That looks pretty cool Chip

HL65 · 23 April 2010, 10:45 AM

X2!!

Yazo · 23 April 2010, 10:45 AM

That actually does look kinda neat. But Rolega? Lol that's 1 ugly name - no offense. :-)

Which is why I chose it!
A bastard of a combo, and a bastard of a name!

Never been a big fan of the Expy II, but that looks great!

kyle L · 23 April 2010, 11:09 AM

Better than Omlex, sounds like a food.

cujo · 23 April 2010, 11:25 AM

Normally I prefer the white faced Exp....but this makes a radical difference in the appearance of the watch....nice job! Bravo!

SLRdude · 23 April 2010, 11:40 AM

Thanks guys!!

...yes, that looks good

cody p · 23 April 2010, 11:52 AM

i was expecting to be disappointed, but that actually looks pretty good, like it was custom fit or something.

Autobot · 23 April 2010, 12:04 PM

Does look great, where did you get it from?

Submariner 1 · 23 April 2010, 12:07 PM

Nice! Very Nice!! It really flows.

It's the OEM Omega Speedmaster X-33 NASA Kevlar strap.
I think it's still available from Omega for about 200 without a buckle.

I normally use it on my speedy Pro but I wanted a change.

roach7 · 23 April 2010, 12:58 PM

interesting combo!

Maxtor · 23 April 2010, 01:00 PM

I normally only like the stainless steel metal bands but this one looks fantastic.

Looks like the watch was meant to be on a band like that.

I still don't get the NATO thing...

I always thought that a sport Rolex can ONLY look good on Oyster, but I must admit this won me over!

It's just odd to see the Omega logo on the clasp, then turn your wrist and see a Rolex!

My Speedmaster Pro had to go back to the SS band for a while!
I actually stuck the Oyster on the Speedy and it looks mighty good!

I'm actually a righty that wears the watch on the right wrist due to a motorcycle accident. I had some damage on my left wrist so I moved the watch to the right, and it just kinda stayed there!

Thanks for the clarification! I'm a lefty and tried wearing a watch on my left wrist as a child but it got in the way of writing, etc. Been wearing my watches on my right wrist ever since...

I was worried when I saw the heading of this post, but on looking at the pix, I have to say those worries were unfounded.

It works, and it works well!

SLRdude · 24 April 2010, 02:31 AM

The Speedy looks great on the Oyster too!

brandxbrand · 24 April 2010, 02:34 AM

Wow!

I looked up this strap on ofrei.com and it sure is a beaut! Am just not so sure it's worth $200 although Rubber B straps cost about the same. Thanks for sharing this, Chip. I am seriously considering picking up two sets - one for my SubLV and one for a GMTII and I hope they'll fit perfectly.
