Speedmaster help needed

I own a Speedmaster Reduced, lug width 18mm, and want to fit a rubber strap, but a quick search on the internet has failed to come up with anything.

I'd prefer an Omega strap, although I'm aware they are expensive. Does anyone know if there is such a strap that can be fitted to this watch?

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point

Well, there are lots of 18mm rubber straps out there. Here is a link to a site that has a straps for sale section.

Stainless mesh strap also look great on the speedmaster.

I suggest something like this. 14mm - 22mm MODENA Flat Rubber watch band w/ deploy

Reason being is the excess bit of strap on rubber straps constantly seems to come out from under the keepers for most people which is annoying. As this are sized to fit you don't have any excess strap. It's very easy to size.

Next this type of deployment is quite comfortable being basically the type one might find on a metal bracelet.
