New strap advice for C7 Rapide Chronograph MK II

Post by C60Stu »

I have a black C7 Rapide Chronograph MK II with a standard black leather strap but as I have relatively slim wrists (16cm) and the clasp is not very comfortable as it is half way round the side rather than under my wrist.

I would like to get an alternative strap, still leather as I have a braclet on my C60 so would like something different but don't want something that's too long and ends up with loads of spare strap.

I've also tried the CW silicone strap but found it too bulky and have a nato strap but it doesn't really suit it.

Any suggestions are welcome - I've been looking on here - http://www.westonwatchstraps.co.uk/

Thanks in advance,

Stu

Have a look at these forum favourites

http://toshi-straps.co.uk/

http://www.gasgasbones.com/

All three are great guys and all three make straps to your own wrist measurements.

Rich ( Toshi Straps ) and Steveo ( Steveostraps ) both make great straps, I've got 1 from Steveo and 2 from Rich, with a 3rd on order.

Got 1 on order from Carl ( gasgasbones ) too.

I've just put my Rapide on a light brown crocodile strap, looks good.

Despite my love of Nato straps I've not put it on one yet.
