Strap advice for C11 Makaira 500 elite

Post by Gareth »

I'm thinking of getting a yellow Isofrane strap for my C11 Elite 500, but I'm wondering what the shade of yellow is like compared to the C11.

Strap I'm looking at:

Does anyone have any experience of pairing these together, or are there any other suggestions on a good strap for this watch? Looking for a rubber strap ideally.

I'm not sure about the hue of the ISOFrane yellow but believe it is fairly light and will match up well.

A cheaper, but similarly styled, strap that matches pretty well is the vintage style rubber strap from Obris Morgan

Alternatively, how about a Vintage Tropic from Watchgecko?

I used to have my Elite on a Mansarea Imola strap. Here's a photo of the strap on the C600 IPY I also used to own
