Disapointed..? Or ceramic bracelet?
So got the white womens Rapide on white leather for the GF for valentines day...
She has worn it once (sat night) for about 2 hrs and the strap is all black already not the underneath but the top...
Is it going back under 60:60? Probably as if it looks like this after 2 hrs il be changing the strap on a weekly basis...
Or does anyone know if i could put a white ceramic type bracelet on it?
any ideas?
Re: Disapointed..? Or ceramic bracelet?
id say a light coloured strap is always going to be a bad idea.... bracelet, or darker leather is about the only way forward for a watch like a W7.

Re: Disapointed..? Or ceramic bracelet?
If you fit a ceramic bracelet yourself a word of warning. Ceramic is scratch resistant but VERY brittle. Don't use a hammer to push link pins out. If the tool is not lined up perfectly it will shatter. This lesson was learnt by my brothers girlfriend when adjusting a bracelet in front of a customer.

You can put on any strap, braclet whatever as long as the strap/bracelet measurement matches the lug width of the watch.AdamRobinson1982 wrote:Or does anyone know if i could put a white ceramic type bracelet on it?
It is quite a common hobby on this forum to change watch straps.
