I got a yellow Robby last year for my C1000CE. Has stayed night and clean and is comfy to wear.
My youngest wants similar for his Spinnaker - which only cost £100 or so, so a £65 Robby is just £abitsilly in that context.
Anything similar he might consider? He wants orange to match the watch and it’s a 22mm width.
Thanks in advance
Cheap(er) alternative to a Hirsch Robby?
Re: Cheap(er) alternative to a Hirsch Robby?
Not similar but a great affordable strap is the Barton Elite Silicon and comes in several colours

I was looking at these the other day, I didn’t buy one so can’t comment further.

There is, of course, no formal requirement for a cheap watch to have a cheap strap...

Thanks all
And yeah there is no need for a cheap watch to have a cheap strap.... unless you are funds-limited

Plenty of affordable rubber straps from Watchgecko. Notably their flyboard rubber/leather hybrid.

+1 for the Barton elite silicone. Really good strap for not much money. 'Pumpkin' is probably a good match? They also do a rubber backed/leather faced strap - £35 on Amazon which might be worth looking at, depends on how limited funds are (and not really the colour your Son wants).
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left
