Re: C7 Rapide Automatic Strap Alternative

^^ Looks great. I have really moved away from leather and towards textile & rubber straps. Nick Mankey has a good reputation. I might pick one up myself now that I’ve seen yours. From the dates on your posts, it looks like it took about 10 weeks to arrive. Is that right? Hi, Apologies for the l...

Re: C7 Rapide Automatic Strap Alternative

Anthony, the new strap looks great! A one-piece perlon would also be a good choice for warmer weather. You would probably want to check out the shades of blues from various vendors. Hi, I am delighted with the strap as its really comfortable. I must have a look at Perlon straps. Thanks for the tip.

Re: C7 Rapide Automatic Strap Alternative

Hi,

I received the strap from Nick Mankey Designs today and I am delighted with it. The watch looks great and sits well on the wrist. The quality is top class and it's very comfortable.
Many thanks for the advice and steering me towards Nick.

Re: C7 Rapide Automatic Strap Alternative

Although I have no personal experience of the next two, Nick Mankey Designs has a hook strap which is well regarded (20% off with code STAYHOME20), and I’ve heard good things about Watchsteward. Hi, I hope that everyone is safe and well. After much research and thanks to advice received here, I hav...

Re: C7 Rapide Automatic Strap Alternative

Hi,

Does anyone have an opinion of Erikas Originals straps?
I found this one on their website and it looks like a good colour match for the C7. It's expensive though at €75 for a nylon strap.

Any other alternatives worth looking at?

Thanks.

Re: C7 Rapide Automatic Strap Alternative

If you've decided you're keeping the watch, it's worth taking the stock strap off and working it with your hands - bend it, twist it, etc to loosen the material. Hi, I bought it in the 50% sale and I am keeping it. I’ll try that and see what happens. I do feel that I would prefer to change it in th...

C7 Rapide Automatic Strap Alternative

Hi, I recently purchased a C7 Rapide Automatic S07-42ADA1-S0KB0-WB. I am really impressed with the watch, the fit and finish, packaging etc. However, the watch is not sitting well on my wrist and it keeps rotating to the underside of my wrist. I have swapped the strap around and it improved the situ...
