C11 Strap options
Seem sto be generally accepted that the C11 SKT strap is not really enhancing the watch.
I've tried this one from Piero Magli
Pretty good IMHO but I still like the Tan Hadley Roma so maybe that one is the next to try.

Re: C11 Strap options
Looks good, picking out the white detailing, which I haven't seen done much on the C11 before.

Re: C11 Strap options
I like the white stitching but am still unsure......is a wrist shot possible?

Re: C11 Strap options
Thank you....The wrist shot looks much better imo.

Re: C11 Strap options
I think the black with white stitching works very well, my only thought is that the strap looks a bit 'small' for such a chunky watch, looks like it needs a thicker strap, although it could just be the way it is showing in that wrist shot.

Re: C11 Strap options
I agree, think it needs a thicker strap. Maybe a Toshi handmade ?highway62 wrote:doesn't work for me.

Re: C11 Strap options
I find the double row of stitching a tad fussy and agree the C11 would look great on a thick, handmade strap such as that made by Toshi.
Re: C11 Strap options
If I ever get a C11, I would take a serious look at Steinhart's range of straps. Love the quality of the one on my Military.
There's also the handmade Meva straps, but they cost a small fortune..

Check out the vintage aviator from Watchworx. I have a few of their straps and they are superb for the money.

Re: C11 Strap options
I must be in the minority, as I really like the stock issue CW Black Leather strap on mine.
Fantastic detailing on the buckle and lots of length for those of us with larger wrists.
To my eyes, the all Black strap allows 100% of the focus to be on the watch.
