I've looked around Gasgasbones before and his straps don't quite click for me; I'd prefrer a regular NATO or HD NATO / Zulu / Rhino

Here we go.

Certainly a more comforatble fit as the strap is a few mm looser, which I prefer. The strap itself is really soft and has taken to wrist shape really well.

As to style - IMHO, whilst the C60 with para looks good I feel the C8 cream is just absolutely made for it; its just that right feel of aviation / airborne / 1940s(?).

I've marked this up as my preferred combination for the C8 but will still use a black / sand NATO or CWL Vintage Tan from time to time. I will though need to go back to the drawing board (or should that be CAD these days?) for the perfect combination for the C60

Very nice 8) As you say, absolutely made for it. Have you sent Steveo a pic - he might like to use it as he doesn't have many cream watches, or C8s for that matter :)

Good luck with the C60 strap hunt!

Hi, I have had two straps from watchstyle.co.uk and feel in MHO that they are one of the best strap suppliers out there.
I have ordered two of there Hirsch Heavy Calf 100m WR straps. One in the blue and one in brown. They did cost £55 but well worth it for the CWC40 and C4 Perigrine and also Breitlings.
They sell a multitude of straps from different suppliers so you can't go wrong.
