I had one of these years ago and let it go but as time goes by these early models stand up better and better and makes me wish I had held on to one or two

Re: CWL of the day
Thanks for the comments on the C65 all. Mind-boggling when I look at it and think that it "only" cost £350! It's a heck of a watch for that money.
Not 100% sure about the Barton strap, looks ok. I have a green/black Cordura hybrid strap on my desk to try this evening and am going to give one of those WatchGecko canvas NATOs a try as well.
Will post photos for those interested in alternative straps

Re: CWL of the day
One of their best Ferg!
Put my C65 on a green/black Cordura hybrid strap. Definitely prefer this to the Barton, although I'd have liked a shorter version ...

^^ IMO that looks FAR better on the Cordura for strap colour. The Barton looked too washed out. Good upgrade!StrappedUp wrote:Put my C65 on a green/black Cordura hybrid strap. Definitely prefer this to the Barton, although I'd have liked a shorter version ...

Is that one of CW's High Density Webbing straps, Ryan, or another brand?StrappedUp wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:33 pm Put my C65 on a green/black Cordura hybrid strap. Definitely prefer this to the Barton, although I'd have liked a shorter version ...
Looks neat by the way.

It's a Morellato "Netball" strap (who makes up their strap names?? )
First thoughts are that it looks and feels a good quality strap.
We'll see how well it holds up over time, especially around the strap holes.
It's pretty flexible straight out the pack which I guess is down to it being silicon and not rubber.
Not to be confused with the nasty, fluff-catching silicon found in cheaper straps though.
Cost me about £30 from Watchbandcenter (cheapest available) and also comes in a few other flavours

@StrappedUp - cheers Ryan.
Sounds similar in concept to the Flyboard leather/rubber strap I have from Watchgecko on my C8 M2.04 LE

Maybe it is rubber after all then? The Flyboard you have is the same base strap with a different top 'skin' AFAIK.
Certainly doesn't feel like any silicon straps I've tried, including the Barton Elite.

Yup, good dark shade of yellow. Might even try it on my C60 Kingfisher yellow and C70 Ascari.

^^^ would also match the GMT hand of the MK2 C60.
I spent the entire time I owned one looking for a yellow strap that matched the colour.
