C65 classic le suggestions

Post by angusbon »

Hi guys, recently purchased a c65 le, a CW I have been after for ages.
Just wanted some suggestions for straps. I do like the supplied strap, but would like to mix it up. Orange strap? Ideally a blue with orange touches?
Any ideas greatly appreciated Image

There was a thread on this watch way back when it was released and some strap suggestions, certainly towards the end of thread if not throughout it. Unfortunately some of the photos have suffered the photo*ucket fate.

There was one cracking strap, photo has gone that was blue with orange stitching, looked fantastic. It was made by a saddlery and cost over £300 so I'm guessing that is a bit rich for you, if not let me know as I probably still have the email about it as I did enquire of them about the strap.

Thanks for your help mate, £300 for a strap would be quite expensive for most I would imagine.

This might sound really stupid but just do an internet search of "blue watch strap with orange stitching".

I've just done it and there's some great looking results. I haven't gone too deeply into looking at the makers or costs of the straps shown but there's some good looking rally types there.

I no longer own my C65 LE however I did have it on the same brown leather strap as yours and I thought it suited the watch well.

Here's quite a nice option, comes in 22mm lug width (and 10% off in BF, see my Mansarea post in Bargain Hunters Thread)

The blue/orange webbing strap of the Acan would be a great match.

I used to have a C65 LE and tried a few different straps. I had it on a blue/orange nato both those colors were a bit too bright for me.

I’ve had mine on a red-brown genuine alligator (not a CW) Bader style strap since almost day one. I think it’s a great match.
