Hi Tick Tock,

I recently bought a rubber strap for my C60, it sits great and hope it helps you make your decision :)

The strap was bought from WatchGecko: https://www.watchgecko.com/bonetto-cint ... -strap.php

That's gorgeous, thanks. So many strap options. Had never really thought about straps (and why would you, unless in an altogether different forum...) till I got interested in watches. Can pretty much make 20 different watches from one, can't you.

Always buy on the bracelet.

Rubber and leather (aftermarket) straps are available from a wide range of suppliers. Always look at Steveostraps and Toshi for leather straps. They set the standard. Then there are many more, some mentioned above....

I don't really like rubber next to my skin - at least not on watches :oops:
Personally I echo this. Their bracelet is fantastic. I purchased the watch on bracelet with the expectations of swapping to strap but never did. But if you still take off the bracelet my vote is leather. You can source the strap of your fancy and get a butterfly deployant while you're at it.

It's difficult to screw up your options with these watches.
