Nice strap on your Dartmouth Neil, which brand is it may I ask?

Are you convinced you’ll get the blue 58 to go with your black one?
Really pleased with the strap. It’s one of these Patrick, available in other colours as well. Dedworth Distresso Cowhide.

Very soft, with the thickness at the lugs also an ideal match for the slim lugs of the C65 case.

I thought that as the bracelet is QR I ought to stick with QR straps as an alternative. I know that CW do high quality straps, but I have always found the length rather annoying for a normal 7” wrist.

Re. the blue 58 yep I will definitely get one. Usual WIS logic - I always take 2 or 3 decent watches on holiday, usually Rolex and Tudor. If the Black BB58 was nicked that would pi*s me off big time, as the insurance money could never buy me the same watch to the one I bought and picked up new on a specific birthday. Similar reason to why I don’t leave my Speedy, Pelagos or a couple of others in a room safe, Villa, Cottage etc...

Have to say that is a great combo Neil. Really nice strap
The blue /blue 58 looks very nice. I thought is was going to be a black dial. This looks miles better.

Thanks Paul.

I think a couple of the other colour options for the strap would also work well with the BB58N.

Had the new BB58 just had a blue bezel I think I would also have been less keen.

I'm telling you, looks great on any strap you throw at it! :D

Cheers.

Custom made one from our very own @footycrazy.

Possibly slightly on the thick side for the svelte lines of the C65, but other aspects are so absolutely right, notably the pale coffee coloured stitching which matches up with the lume.

Exciting times Ferg, I’m guessing it is not the electric Mini, but clearly must be a Mini of some sort?!
