@Pags is right...go with the one(s) that you like the best.

I’ve never worn the Omega replica NASA strap on either one of my Seiko autos...that would be like putting Chevy parts on either of my two Fords (2001 Mustang Bullitt and 2007 Police Interceptor)...not to mention that the Omega replica NASA strap is for a 20mm lug width and both of my Seiko autos have a 22mm lug width.

For my Seiko autos, I like what’s pictured below (left to right)...the Seiko brand DAL1BP replacement band which is very close to the original band that came on my beloved Seiko 6309-7049 (also pictured below)...the cheapestnatostraps.com nylon NATO band...and the awesome @ChuckMK23 Mt. Baker band.

Would Susie Rottencrotch be willing to tell us just how awesome you are? ?

Hot dog...so I’m guessing that you’re abiding by HELNONMONKSPANKRON SOP...which is NAM-o-matic on your part. As the assistant to the assistant PAO liaison, I’ll notify the almighty Skipper @Griz882 of your NAM-o-matic conduct.

Test.

Bravo Zulu! It is nice to see our Midwest Det (aka the “Howler Monkeys”) out on mission.

Doing a little regulating on my Speedy Gonzales Moonwatch...it’s been consistently running at about +8 to +9 seconds per 24 hours [Omega factory specifications for the 1861 movement are -1 to +11 seconds per 24 hours]...but I’d like to get it to about +2 or +3 seconds per 24 hours...so I’m carefully manipulating the regulator screw [see second pic].

Unless you have a new gasket and pressure testing kit, there goes your water resistance.

Correct.

Does your male elderly care unit ever get to wear the Speedy and drive the Bullet, or are you counting on his love and affection to carry him through your angry, drooling, arthritic years?
