C1 Moonglow on rubber
I’ve seen people say that they see the C1 Moonglow more as a sports watch than a dress watch. I certainly don’t wear it in a dress setting. I wear it often in shorts and t-shirt. I’ve only really seen pics of it on leather and Milanese mesh, which make it look more dressy.
Mine usually lives on the CW black cordovan leather, but I threw it on a black Barton elite silicone today. The rubber “sports” it up a bit more I think. I actually like how it looks and feels, better than leather, at least in a casual setting.
I think I’ll leave it this way for a while
Let me know what you think.

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
That’s a good look, Alex. And it is much too nice a watch only to wear with a whistle and flute.

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
Yep, I agree, it looks great ‘worn down’. This is a great look
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
Right ethos Alex, to consider it a Sports watch, much as I have with my Powerglow on a #tide strap.

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
That’s a perfect match! I think a #tide strap with white stripe would look great with the MoonGlow.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 6:45 pm Right ethos Alex, to consider it a Sports watch, much as I have with my Powerglow on a #tide strap.

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
Thanks, guys! That’s a great suggestion that I hadn’t considered. I’ll have to get the white striped #tide strap for it at some point. I don’t have authorization for a $75 strap purchase from the boss at the moment, since I just dropped something like $100 on straps last month

Looks great on that strap Guy. I must admit I’d be tempted to throw it either on a rubber strap or one of Watchgeckos sailcloths.

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
Right?! It’s truly stunning. How did this not get past the prototype phase? Or what’s in the pipeline that this was passed over for?!

Ever since I started this thread I pretty much only wear this dressed down. Thought I’d add a couple pics too.

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
Alex, where did you get the white rubber strap from?
That might look good on both my Moonglow and my white C60 300.

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
Some great strap combos there
...and, to reply to the original question, I put a strap on a watch that suits it, irrespective of the type/genre of watch or the type of strap whether it be rubber, leather, and so on.

Re: C1 Moonglow on rubber
Not really sure about the rubber but nato will work hands down.
I’ve put it on a Steel bracelet and it looks sporty
