Hi
Just bought my first CW, it's a Kingfisher Pro Diver with the black face. The strap on it is not the original or even a CW strap. Apart from this the watch is immaculate. I would like to re-instate it to full CW status so with the straps currently availble on the CW website can anyone recommend an appropriate strap? I'm happy with most materials although the mesh type aren't high on my list!
Many thanks

Re: Recommended strap for Kingfisher Pro?
The CW rubber straps are a good choice or go non-CW strap and get a Maratac

If you can find one an original silicon or bracelet would be ideal - the new rubber strap is a possibility but maratac is a great choice too.

Re: Recommended strap for Kingfisher Pro?
This is the original Kingfisher rubber/silicon strap
The very popular Matatace Elite
The matching bead blasted bracelet with the black centre.
Standard C6 bracelet
The 2 bracelets side by side (just a chance to get the C6 white into the picture)
On a SteveO strap
On a Toshi strap
Standard black leather
No recommendations. Just lots of choices to think about. Although I like mesh I have not seen a bead blasted one so it would not suit the Kingfisher.

HI
Thanks for the replies, it looks like I have the Matatace on it! I'm trying to addd some pics but not having any joy, am I being stupid? I see there is a tab below for Upload Attachment, I click on that and select a photo from iPhoto but it either fails to attach or says it invalid!
Any tips please?

Re: Recommended strap for Kingfisher Pro?
In my very humble opinion I think the Kongfisher is one of the best looking CW's I have seen/current possibly with the exception of the C900SWKR!
I would buy another Kingfisher without hesitation.
