If anyone is looking for a NASA style velcro strap for their Speedmaster here's a link. I just got mine (a Speedy V-2) and highly recommend it. If I can figure out how to post a pic I will but there are some good pics on the website. Carl at GasGasBones (I gotta ask him what's up with that) does nice work and is good to work with. Steve

A reminder: I maintain a webpage which details different methods/sources of these straps. I say methods, because several of the methods are Do-It-Yourself instructions...
Obtaining/Making NASA-Style Velcro Straps...:
This page also included GasGasBone's information, but it didn't include a link to his new site [which Steve supplied to me and I've updated that page].

So you have a wide variety of choices in velcro straps, from the ultra-cheap [and not especially like NASA issue] to DIY instructions to custom made. I also believe that Omega also will sell you one for about $50-75 dollars, but other than with Omega.ch directly or at an Authorized dealer. Unfortunately the AD I use needs a Part Number to order one, but he has no idea as to what the part number is. So if you have it, or can find it: Please report back here!
