Chronomètre Bleu - long strap available?

May 18, 2010,03:38 AM
 

I own a Chronomètre Bleu since mid January but may not really enjoy this  marvelous watch as since 4 months it looks impossible to get an extra long crocostrap... and I have an over 18cm/7" wrist!

When I have purchased the watch the assistant promised me an extra long bleu strap within a few days and I thrust him as I never had any trouble to get extra long Journe straps for my previous watches (sometimes in stock, or maximum 1 week delay).

But this time it looks to be a real issue and, as I have heard so much embarassed explanations and got unkept commitments, I really wonder if such extra long bleu croco straps are yes or no available at the FP Journe manufacture for the Chrono Bleu or if this watch is indeed since 5 months on the market without adapted strap to customers having large wrists (and I should not be the only one....)?

I should have ordered one straight to a strapmaker but each time I wanted to do it, I received a commitment from the watch shop which was announcing a shorter delivery than the usual delay of a strap made on order!

Does somebody have the same problem and/or some info about those long bleu straps?

Thanks for your reply. Is the standard strap also supposed to be witha rubber lining? I get my CB with a navy croco strap with leather lining... Despite your assertion, my FP Journe official dealer is up to now unable to provide me with a long navy croco ...
