Octopod on my Ball Moonphase?
Anyone familiar with this system and have any thoughts on it - good or bad??

Also, planning to use it on my Ball Moonphase - tell me why I shouldn't?? For reference the Ball didn't come on its original strap and I'm not a huge fan of the brown and grey leather ones it came with!!
I'd probably go with a black octopod strap but happy to hear any other colour suggestion that might work. Dial on the watch is silver if that helps!

Collector? Probably not, try the keep the collection down to 7 (one per day). Some will get flipped, 2019 TAG Heuer Monaco the only one guaranteed 'keeper'!

I have seen videos of the strap system but have no experience with them. Now as for your watch, that is a looker.
Thank you kindly!
Have a few, some gifted by good friends, and now some gifted by my wife.
I like them. I prefer the non elastic ribbed variant to the elastic one. Mainly because with the way the system works it's possible to get a fantastic fit and I like the look of the ribbed single pass better.
I will say, I'd go with one or two colors, the system is kinda fiddly to set up and I find myself switching between colors/variants faaar less than a vanilla single pass.
I use the system I like the security of a nato but hate the bulk of tucking all the material into keepers. I got it on a non elastic strap because it matches the bezel on the watch it was for ,I’d imagine the elastic straps would be even more comfortable.Initial setup is a wee bit fiddly but that’s half the fun.
I just got the Octopod system before Christmas, it’s great from all aspects except one, it’s kind of a hassle changing them out with a watch or if you want to change straps. The ribbed non elastic is easier but still takes a little time. Super comfortable and I like the deployant clasp.
The clasps are kind of expensive, thankfully almost all my watches are 20mm. I’d have to buy another one if I want to use it for my one 22mm that I wear pretty often.

Looks good on the Carrera👍
Yeah, I can see that type of strap working very nicely with your Ball. For sure. Thanks for introducing me to the brand, now I’m going exploring! 😃
I’m so looking forward to picking up a Ball watch next and this moonphase is EPIC! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Buckle is a little expensive , but if you like changing straps like you change your socks - I know I do- the straps themselves. are nice and cheap.😄 Bougjt mine on sale, but not sure I'd pay full whack.

Ordered one with a 'new' customer code so got 10% off. I'm always bemused by the cost of certain things - I fancied an official rubber strap for my Breitling till I realised they wanted about £200 just for the clasp. This one is a veritable bargain in comparison 😂

Yep, higher-end brands seem to just name their own price with their replacement straps don't they🤔
