C3 MkI Blue Alligator (don't laugh)
C3 MkI Blue Alligator (don't laugh)
Ha, ha. So you might wonder who the heck would buy the C3 with the blue fake alligator strap. So, I'll confess, it was me:
There is a method to this madness and it probably doesn't include wearing the blue strap very often. Maybe to an ice cream parlor or something. I already have a black and a tan fake alligator strap for a C3, so there wasn't much point in getting another one of those. I also have some other straps that I thought would look awesome on this watch:
The CWL tan strap from my C10:
A brown rally strap that I never thought worked that well with my black C3, but looks fantastic with the cream dial:
A brown Crown & Buckle:
And, the steel bracelet. Looks almost too bling-y on the C3 black, but I really like this combo:

I didn't laugh, as I considered it myself! I think it looks fantastic on that C&B strap. Great pick up, well done.

It's not quite as red as the photo makes it look, but it's definitely a reddish-tan color.

If you'd like sell the blue strap I'd be interested as I missed the watches in the sale.

Great photos looks really good. I have to confess I bought one too. I really like the C&B strap - any chance of a link to it?

Glad the C3 Mk1 is getting some love. I personally don't care for the cream much compared to the black I have. I also don't think the blue strap and the cream have any business being together, but it does work in an odd way. I think black and brown straps works best for the C3 in either color. It's a great watch which I wish was Auto.

The Crown & Buckle is their "Camden" model, but I think they have discontinued the brown version and now just have the black version. Here's a link to all of their 20mm straps that will fit a C3 MkI.
