Whatever123 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 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, Whatever123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) 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. Edited September 20, 2010 by Noel Fleischer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 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...

marchi Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) 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.

Whatever123 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
