C7 Rapide strap question

Post by quietman »

I'm seriously considering the C7 with the steel snracelet. Would the 22mm black leather strap in the clearance section fit? I'm thinking it might be nice to swap back and fore, it should be a very different looking watch with each strap/bracelet.

Hi quietman. I have the mk1 c7 rapide, which I assume has the same size case. I ordered the blue version of the strap in the sale and it fits fine. Quite a tight fit, but once on its snug and comfortable.

Thanks for the reply. Does the watch look much different with each strap/bracelet?

If you use the search for C7 and look at the results, you will get a strap that fits the shoulders of the watch (as there is a difference between the C60 and C7 case).

The alternative is to buy a strap that has straight ends.

Yes, they look quite different, but both still look good. I also managed to snag a 'straight ended' HRDC black leather strap with red accents as well and the watch looks good on all 3 different straps. If you are going to buy a shaped strap make sure you buy a C7 one and not a C60 shaped one. I believe people say that the C60's do fit, but it will not be easy when it comes to changing them out.
