    Sometimes, some things, just... work. (Speedy on Leather)

    I've done pics before, but following on from a few ads in SC, and a request from Dougair, I thought it was about time to try and capture a few more/better photos of my favourite combination - My Omega Speedmaster Professional 3573.50 Sapphire Sandwich on OEM Omega 98000153 Brown Alligator Strap, complete with OEM Omega 94521813 Deployant Clasp.

    That looks great... have you ever tried a curved-end strap? Had my Speedy on a black Hirsch Leonardo, it was a perfect match.

    Very nice indeed. My own Speedy '57 reissue is on an ostrich strap.

    Looks good for dressing a Speedy up. I do prefer a nice Rally strap though :)

    Don't suppose you have a handy pic of that online do you, want to restrap a Tudor Chrono and Ostrich is top of my ideas list.

    Looks good. Brings a certain gravitas to the watch.

    as much as my mind wants to deny a brown strap on a black faced watch.....this actually works well :thumbright:

    I have tried a Leonardo before, but while the curved ends were great, the mock croc quality was poor IMO.

    Thanks, I was rather pleased with that photo. I'm certainly no photographer, and with a small compact point and shoot Sony, my hands are somewhat tied...

    That does look nice. I have previously seen the Speedy on a black rally and black croc but the brown does look good.

    Very nice! How does a Speedmaster look on a NATO strap? Has anyone photographed such a combo? I think I when I own one it'll be on the black leather Omega strap with the clasp but would be keen to see how a NATO looks..

    That look great, makes me wonder why I have never owned a speedy.

    Re: Sometimes, some things, just... work. (Speedy on Leather)

    Looks very nice mate, I'm a big Omega fan myself and a speedy-pro is on my list to own.

    Just one thing I didn't realise that you could get a speedmaster pro with a clear back, is that original or a modification?

    I've always thought the Speedy looks better on leather. Nice job.

    This Speedy is the 3573.50, nicknamed the sapphire sandwich.

    It's an optional £500 extra over the original 3570.50. It differs by changing the watch crystal from hesalite to sapphire, the addition of the sapphire see through caseback, and ever so slightly changing the 861 caliber to what omega call the 863. The only difference being, for the purposes of looks, a plastic component within the movement was changed to metal.

    I agree with the others, the back is stunning. If its an optional extra is it really rare or did they do a 'normal run' with them?

    Not rare as such. Of course, harder to come by in the used market, but you could pop to your AD today and order one in for £3300 rather than the £2800 the normal speedy pro's demand.
