A Bund too Far

Post by alphajet »

I have been looking for a tan bund strap for my C8's after quite liking the look of my black one.

Choose this one by Fluco from the watchbandcentre. Although the colour is spot on what I wanted, the look is not. Unlike the pad on the black one which fits the contours of the C8 very well, the tan one is huge and makes the 44mm C8 look tiny, must have been designed for some 50mm monster! The size and thickness of the pad also turns my 7.5 inch wrist into Gorilla size so that the strap only just does does up. This is a strap that must be designed for the weedy wristed to wear one of those huge TW Steel or U Boat watches.

So the outcome is have binned the pad and just wearing the strap as I like the tan on my C8, and the strap now fits too.

No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

A round-about route but a good outcome :up:

The bund pad was truly, truly bad! But the strap looks good on the C8. :)

Good decision, I agree that pad was a disaster, without it the effect is good!
