Also, in regards to the strap conversation... Anyone have any suggestions for the MUT Moon? I was talking to Cylon about it earlier via PM, and would of course appreciate suggestions.

i wish i had the funds.

have you considered a dark brown gator or croc?

strap is definitely not OEM.

That dial looks fantastic. LOVE that patina.

I'll need to look into a brown croc/gator/calf one of these days!

 

You have pushed me over the edge.  I need to get my 9300 on a strap, pronto.  Where did you source yours?

I have two. For srs. Looks like the original cal. 321 movement. It is not the very earliest, because of the case shape (mine, neither).

stitch, you should get the Speedy. I looked at one for a few years, sort of hemming and hawing about getting it. Once I did, it was clear that I missed out on a couple of years of enjoyment. biggrin.gif

I'd love to pick up a 321 in that kind of shape. Nice.

I bought it on the bracelet and added a strap (bought together) when I negotiated the price the first time I bought it.. I got it from my AD. Not much wiggle room when it comes to Omega accessories apparently..

There usually isn't much wiggle room on accessories.  Thats why if I know I want a watch on a bracelet and a strap, I buy it on the bracelet so that its part of the negotiated price of the watch.  Bracelets are always far more expensive than the straps, so its better to get the discount on the bracelet than strap.

Totally agree Dino

if you even sniff you may want a bracelet in the future, better and a lot cheaper to just get up front at the time of original purchase.

case in point buying the Speedy on bracelet but adding a strap saved me several hundred dollars versus buying it on the strap and adding a bracelet later..
