Looking for the perfect straps for you Omega Speedmaster or need some help in changing the bracelet? I got you covered.
I've collected quite a few straps (understatement) over the past 2 years and in this video I'll share the ones that keep finding their way back to my speedy and on to my wrist. I'll show you 5 different materials for 6 different looks.
This video is not sponsored by any of the brands listed here. These are MY personal favorites.
I also quickly go over the tools I use to change the bracelet and I'll show you how to get the bracelet on or off. Hope this can be helpful to some.

What a great video Tom! I’m sure this will help many people enjoy their watches in a new way - no need to go to an AD/jeweller to get your strap changes done! I’d struggle to say I have a favourite strap type, I’m lucky enough to have similar options to you and each serves a purpose, depending on what I’m up to that day. If all else fails, you can’t beat a nato 😊 Cheers!

@@BowlOfSalmon Tom, I’ve tried the spring bar tweezers in the past but they usually only work well for Rolex/Tudor and somewhat for omega spring bars. Is there a spring bar tweezers that also works for seiko and other brand spring bars?

stand .. "the watch stand" :) thewatchstand.com/

@driller7714 7 месяцев назад

I use my thumbnail to depress the spring bar when reinstalling the bracelet. Works like a charm and I don’t have to worry about a metal tip scratching the watch. I’m not nearly as worried about scratching the watch with the tool when removing as I am when reinstalling. I guess the thumbnail trick only works for those who keep a bit of nail though.

Great vid & wider content. The tool that comes with the Speedy is great. Forstner end links are better than Uncle Seiko - they both make some nice OEM replicas though.

@robertvanderpoel7721 11 месяцев назад

Great Video Tom. I do have a question; why do you claim that Speedmasters are not waterproof? Omega state that they are swimmable, and I have been using them in the pool for many years. So many claim the same as you, but no one seem to have had bad experiences proving Omega wrong.

@BowlOfSalmon 11 месяцев назад

I’d prefer you try to claim them wrong tho. Might have some water resistance but I prefer beeing prudent and avoid claims 🫣

@DennisC_X 8 месяцев назад

Do you recommend using tweezers or a singled forked tool for changing out the bracelet?

@BowlOfSalmon 8 месяцев назад

I'm terrible with tweezers myself .. or just with "not scratching" lugs so I'm the worst fish to ask for help :)

@JustYouL Год назад

What do you think of the OEM Omega Leather strap on a smaller wrist?

@BowlOfSalmon Год назад

I never owned any oem omega. I don’t really care for the logo on the buckle. And I’ll prefer to have a custom size made for me. Eg. Delugs

@thattablebloke 9 месяцев назад

Stupid question - how do you undo/take out the clasp on the bracelet so you can get behind it to change the strap??

@BowlOfSalmon 9 месяцев назад

🤔 I don’t take out the clasps

@thattablebloke 9 месяцев назад

@@BowlOfSalmonIn the video you seem to - like open the clasp so you can lay the bracelet flat when going at the spring bars. Separate the clasp/bracelet so it's not a big circle, instead it's long and flat if you get me.

@BowlOfSalmon 9 месяцев назад

@@thattablebloke ah okay ... see it now .. the bracelet that is open is the forstner/uncle seiko one and is also attached to the clasp with a spring bar so its easy enough to remove. i think I just did this to be able to show it a little better tho

Speedmaster is more water resistant than people think. I don't worry if I forget to take mine off in the shower or bath children wearing it.

@andrebalsa203 7 месяцев назад

Just a short comment: if you are dealing with a watch worth more than a couple thousand dollars (as is the case with any Omega, or Rolex, etc), then you *really* should tape the lugs when changing the strap or bracelet, because a single small scratch on the lugs will cost you more than $300 or so in terms of loss of resale value of your preciousss. And even if you are not reselling it, it's always disheartening to damage the case of a good watch. It takes perhaps 1 minute at most to tape the lugs, but a scratch on your watch will stay there forever.

@BowlOfSalmon 7 месяцев назад

Agreed. Good practice
