Hi all,
I've been deliberating between the C60/C61 for a while now, but after trying on a friends C60, have decided to go for the C61. Just wondered if anyone had heard whether or not a rubber strap will be available anytime soon.. If there are plans I could hold off for a bit..(problem is, patience is not one of my virtues )
C61 Trident - Strap
Re: C61 Trident - Strap
If you don't mind me asking; why not get it on the steel bracelet? It's a lot easier buying a rubber strap (maybe an ISOfrane) later on and starting with the steel bracelet than vice versa.

Re: C61 Trident - Strap
The advantage of buying it with a bracelet is that it fit to the shape of the case and is always easier to sell on if you decide to sell the watch later. There are literally hundreds of suppliers of rubber/silicone straps, NATO and leather leather straps you can buy for a 20mm lug width watch. Changing the bracelet/strap is a good way to change the look of the watch. I have my C60 on a shark mesh bracelet at the moment but it has been on leather and NATO.

Re: C61 Trident - Strap
I wonder if you have noticed that all Women's watches are reduced by circa 20% and this includes the W61 which apart from the strap is identical to the C61. If you are changing the strap anyway you have nothing to lose!mjsucks66 wrote:Hi all,

OP - Look at the Hirsch Pure rubber straps from watchobsession as well. They are fantastic.

Re: C61 Trident - Strap
Your best solution might be to get a W61 on a bracelet then you can change the strap as planned.
