Strap pic
Thanks for the picture. As soon as I saw it and the specs for the Trofeo Chrono, I knew it would be a great strap for the DLC'd FF. Has anyone bought the strap and buckle alone yet? Any price to be quoted? I have an email again into the boutique in NYC.
Strap suggestions for 50 fathoms all-black version.
Hi all, recently purchased the all-black 50-fathoms and would welcome any strap suggestions, in addition to the one it came with. many thanks
First of all, Huge congrats on your new catch!
I tried it some days ago, and was impressed by this Beast. As for the straps, you may be happy with a calf one, quite rugged, to dress it down a bit, in cognac, to enhance the contrast, or , why not, in black! All Black! Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas
This is great watch and because it's all black doesn't feel too big on the wrist.
Congratulations....
I also tried it on a couple of weeks ago and it looked impressive I would stay with the kevlar strap but if you must have another one, then a brown calf (on the lighter shade) would also look good enjoy it Cheers
Strap for FF All Black
I am lucky enough to own one of these great watches and I too would like more options for a strap. The best option, in my mind, can be found right at the top of the page in the photo of the Super Trofeo Chronograph. The strap for this watch is a grey-blac...
Excuse me, is it possible to post a link, I too look for
strap option for my regular 5015 FF
Strap available?
If the Alcantara strap is available, that is very good news. Blancpain boutiques from New York to Zurich and Munich were advising just a few weeks ago that the strap could not be purchased yet. I tried to call someone in New York just now but no one is an...

Not bad!
I love a lot this distressed look, but I have a doubt if I had to put it on the Black Fifty... On The SS it would be perfect, but on the black??? Best, Nicola

Actually, it would be perfect for the DLC FF. See below the pic of the strap on the DLC Chrono. I have a PVD Panerai and wear a black strap with it and it's a great combo....
Yes, but is the case more grey than black, on this pic?
Do you have a comparison pic of a grey strap mounted on a black case? Curiously, Nicolas
Grey vs. Black
I have to assume the DLC coating on the Trofeo Chrono is the same on the all-black FF. I was close to ordering a custom alcantara strap because I think the strap material offers a good contrast with the black case of the watch. So now I am particularly in...
Hello charlie1, the alacantara strap..
Hello charlie1, The alacantara strap color is black but think of it as a suede shoe, at certain angles it is grey/light color. Since my two pics are taken with a 60mm macro lens, it's actually not that puffy. I understand that from the west coast rep that...
Info from HQ
Magnus, didn't see your message from HQ in your post. What are they saying re the Alcantara strap? Thanks
I got the info in mid-May...
that both the Super Trofeo DLC-coated buckle as well as the Alcantara strap are available. I posted that on the 'offical' Blancpain forum, which might be the reason why you haven't seen it yet. I will add the exact prices for both later, I have them at ho...
Strap info
Could not find it on the BP Forum, Magnus. Can u post the info here? thanks very much
here is an option...
... that may not meet everybody's taste, but I like it ;-) cheers...
Damn, this combo is so Vintage looking, so Beautiful!
It enhances the contrast with the black case so nicely! Well done. Best, Nicolas
strap
it is actually a Blancpain made Barennia strap with rubber inner lining, but they recently stopped taking orders for custom straps for the FF :-( cheers
dark cognac Barennia on black FF
here is one more alternative: and even the back side is nice ;-) cheers...
Great strap selection Shorty's home...
It looks like you are able to change your straps around yourself, am i right? If so how do you do it? Does Blancpain supply the kit necessary for changing straps at home? Many thanks.
tool
I use the small screwdrivers supplied with the Blancpain strap change tool - and it works smoothly on the FF - totally different story on the Air Command; that is a little more delicate... Cheers
