Same here... nine straps/bracelets across four orders yesterday and they've all been dispatched already, earlier this morning in fact
You're on an absolute tear this month with watch and strap additions.....well done !!
Wow, these all just arrived together... it was eleven (forgot I ordered two more)... bit late to start messing around fitting them to watches, but will try them tomorrow

I glanced at a couple of the hybrid strips, but I think they are all the slightly thicker version 1 straps. There may have been a few version 2 straps early on, but I can't see any now. They all have HYB-01 in the product code, but I am not sure if that means gen 1.
I wondered the same @JAFO. The description for the v2 hybrids was always different (talked of reengineered versions). My guess is these are v1 straps
I've ordered a blue one, but if it's the v1 then it will have to go back, as I already have a blue v1... I did order a fair few others though, so one not working out isn't the end of the world
Very quick look at the blue/bronze hybrid I ordered and it seems to be the newer style (I have a v1 and it's much thicker), much like my new black/red hybrid

Wow! I think you need an intervention!
Ha ha, quite possibly
Actually I was originally hoping to get these canvas straps second hand, as most of them are no longer available, and they should match some of my watches perfectly (bronze in particular is hard to come by), so when they popped up in the aborted sale last week, I made a note in anticipation they’d come up again, and they did
The mesh and Cordovan are speculative as I think there are some watches they might work with... the mesh on the C65 CS for example...

...popped back in and picked up a 22mm mesh... seemed rude not to at £50 off
Thinking I might try it on the C65 Super Compressor
I’ll be really curious to see that. Please post pics when it arrives.
Ian (Tortoise) has posted pics of his SC on a BoR bracelet, and I’ve got to say, I think it’s the bee’s knees. I’d like to see how the mesh stacks up against it.
As promised, here's the C65 Super Compressor on the newly acquired 22mm mesh bracelet... it looks quite good to me... I believe mesh has been used on divers before
Only minor issue is that it's a bit too short/tight and so will ask CW if I can obtain an extra link or two...

That does look good!
I agree... It was going to be one of those "will it, won't it" tests, but I think it does look cool on the mesh... the straight end matching the bars helps here

I’ve said this many times - the deep blue SC is the best looking watch CW released this year...just gorgeous! And the camel strap enhances it. Enjoy it!

That is a gorgeous colour combination and the camel leather works well with it
