TH Carrera on racing leather

[Whatever123]

Hi!

I already wanted to sell my Carrera a couple of weeks ago, I just didn't wear it anymore. The main reason was that I never really liked the bracelet, too wobbly and too much stretch. So after a bit of thinking (and because I didn't get good offers for the watch... ), I decided to keep it and buy a nice racing-style leather strap for it. So I did... here's the result:

What do you think? I really like it and haven't taken the watch of my wrist for the last couple of days.

And the strap was below 20 euros...

Cheers,

I did almost the same thing- put an OEM rubber strap on. I like the watch so much I bought the gen (brown face)

The rep S/S bracelet is kinda sharp and loose. I had to polish it and sand the edges. But, as you see side by side, the rep is very good. I doubt anyone would call it out.

Ok...now you have thinking about changing to a strap. I agree, the bracelet is a bit loose around the lug horns especially, but the watch itself is beautiful.

Methinks I have to go strap shopping...

Hello

there's an english website (i think i can't write here the name of the website) that sells these racing straps "Di-Modell Rallye" with colored stitching : it fits perfectly with the Tag Carrera : mine has red hands, so i bought the black leather strap with red stitching. This shop has orange, yellow and blue stitching with this di-modell strap too. I think it's the only shop that sells theses colored models.

The watch is for sale again. Haven't found the time to start a sales thread yet... I you're interested, PM me.

P.S.: Those "Di-Modell" straps are available in several online shops.
