Ta - yeah, as a rule I don’t wear brown leather so I swapped the stock strap (as nice as it is) for this immediately. It’s a Rios one with an Omega pin buckle fitted (same buckle as the OEM strap). It’s a really nice soft strap, and casual enough for me.
I attempted to fit the Forstner flat link and fully rage quit as my expensive spring bar tool kept slipping off and scratching the underside of the lugs. I might try again when I’m over the trauma but I’m really happy with it on this strap so I probably just shouldn’t mess with it.

Why no brown leather? To be fair - Speedmasters look good on literally anything. You could probably wear it on a shoe lace.
I've heard these bracelets can be a major PITA, have you tried different angles? Sometimes it's literally the case of changing the angle the bracelet enters the lugs and it just pops into place.

Generally, I don’t like black straps, but this looks great.
