Strap for my C7 Rapide White

Post by murtz »

Hi,

I'm looking for some suggestions on a strap for my White C7 Rapide. The only requirement is that is has to be either leather or rubber (comfortable, not as rigid as the ones CW provide) and black in colour.

I'm considering this one at the moment -- http://www.watchobsession.co.uk/collect ... lack-beige

.. but other recommendations will help! :)

A Hirsch Knight would look well.

For some reason I haven't seen that when looking through all the available straps on the CW website..? Am I going mad?

You need to search for C7 as sometimes you don't get all the straps when you search on width.

Ah right thanks! Some of the ones already suggested her are really nice! Just so difficult to decide on which one to go for. In my experience the straps are quite different in person to what you see on images online.

Ooooh I'm liking the bottom one, would look good on my C11 Titanium Elite.
Stevo straps have a great following on the forum.

So after not being totally convinced by the leather strap I bought for the C7, I went a bit strap mad and bought 4 more :shock:

Would certainly be interested in your thoughts on the two CWL straps (I've fancied the red backed one but hadn't looked at the plain black one).

Here's some pics!

CW Bader strap - feels much better than the other CW leather straps, and the bader deployment is ace! Just not sure about the red stitching going with the white C7..

Image


Original C7 leather strap - 'Does what it says on the tin'.. think this watch needs a little more though

Image


CW sent me the brown strap instead of the black one with white stitching, but here's a pic in case anyone is interested in the brown one

Image


Jumbo Di Modell Strap - I think this looks and feels great! Only issue is, it really is 'jumbo'. Anyone that is happy with the feel of a rubber strap will be happy with this.

Image

Image


Di Modell Rallye strap - Very very nice strap. Feels premium for a third of the price of the CW ones. The number of holes is my only stumbling block.. I think I need to sleep on it!

If anyone wants more pics of any strap feel free to ask. I'll be sending the ones I don't want back in a few days :)
