50th Silver Snoopy Added
Finally added the 50th Silver Snoopy to the watch rotation! Fits perfectly and feels great on the wrist. It is such a fun watch especially with Snoopy on the dial and the rotating Earth and animated Snoopy/rocket on the back.

My only complaint is the OEM strap (very uncomfortable) and swapped it out real quick for two piece NATOs.

A few pics:

Very nice! I'm debating if this should be my next piece vs a white skydweller as well.

Congratulations.

The straps seems to be a love hate thing from what I hear. A lot of people, end up buying a bracelet from the Speedmaster Professional.

Agreed on the OEM strap but it does break in. Please put it back on the OEM strap or a SS bracelet. Big congrats on the watch, its a special one

Congratulations! She's a beauty. Picked up mine in January and just love it!

With regards to the strap, I took some time and curved it around my finger to break in in/loosen it up a bit. I also put it on a deployant which I think helps as well. I just can't bring myself to put a different strap on it because the color of the strap matches the watch so well and I like the engraving on the back of the strap depicting the actual flight

That's a Bingo!

You might consider a custom Saffiano leather strap from Aaron Bespoke.

Super comfy right out of the box.

Thanks! Yeah, the bracelet is on my "to do list" but in no rush. Every Speedmaster i've owned has lived on NATO straps or versions of it. I get enough steel bracelets from my Rolex watches

Every Speedmaster i've owned has lived on NATO straps or versions of it. I have no doubt the OEM will soften up over time, but I think there are better options out there.

Eventually I will get the bracelet just to have the option

Thank you! That is sweet strap from Aaron. I've purchased from Aaron before. I may have to take a look at some options :)
