C11 MSL Vintage on Super Engineer II strap

Post by nigelb001 »

Recently purchased this C11 MSL Vintage from a forum member and really loving it but have been trying a few straps. I knew I wouldn't like the one that it came on as I don't like the orangey/tan straps, so put on a black C8 Pilot strap that I had here. Better, but I didn't find it comfortable enough for me, so decided to seek a suitable bracelet as the straight case ends would make that easy.

Quickly came across the Strapcode Super Engineer II brushed and thought it would really suit the C11 as the bevelled edges of the links would suit the edges of the watch case and the polished edge of the strap would pick up on the thin polished perimeter of the case. Went ahead and ordered it from Strapcode UK via Amazon for £46 next day postage free with Prime. Fitted it straight away and yes, it does suit the watch really well - very pleased with it.

Finish and construction is excellent, very solid and quite heavy as it's chunky and doesn't taper but my wrists can take it. It's very comfortable and has made this my top watch. :D :thumbup:

Anyone else using these on your C11's?

Have never tried that type bracelet, but it certainly looks good on the C11.

Well done! :thumbup:

Thanks for posting this. I have a recently acquired C11 MSL (non vintage) and have been looking around at metal bracelets since leather doesn't do so well here in Florida due to the high humidity and heat. I really like that SE2 bracelet - the square links also match the case shape. It looks like the bracelet that the watch should have come on.

I fitted a Super Oyster to my Seiko SKX009 and it transformed the feel of the watch. The only thing I don't like about the Super Oyster is the fact that it marks up quite easily. The value though is outstanding.

I think this is a winning combination and a SE2 might be in my future. Good job.

C11 MSL Vintage on Super Engineer II strap

I had one on my C11 vintage a few years ago. Swapped it for a Makaira bracelet then went with a couple of custom straps. Might go back to the super engineer again one day...

Here it is on the CW strap

...but I like the OEM strap better on the C11 chronograph.

That looks great. You may have swayed me to buy an MSL and do the same.
