Chronometre Bleu with Ming strap
I was fortunate to be able to place an order for the Ming 27.02, which I’m looking forward to receiving later this year. In the meantime I ordered an extra strap for it. When the strap arrived I remembered a post by member “waitlisted” who discovered that Ming straps fit the CB. Here’s his post: www.watchprosite.com
Anyway, I gave it a try and it worked! For reference, it’s the Jean Rousseau Dark Blue Rubber Strap. I like the more casual look. Ready for summer!

"It’s the Jean Rousseau Dark Blue Rubber Strap"
I can't find that one on the JR website but I found they call Ocean Blue. Also, how do you get them to make the curved ends? www.jean-rousseau.com ...
I see that it’s not currently featured on the Ming website. My guess is they sold out. Perhaps they will restock.
The strap came with curved ends. No alterations were necessary.
Ah! You bought it from Ming and not JR
JR's website doesn't show any straps with curved ends.
Would you say the rubber strap makes it feel more rugged?
Even though it only has 30m water resistance
The rubber strap does feel slightly more substantial than the Journe oem.
To be clear, I have no aquatic intentions for my CB. But the rubber strap will be sweat resistant, so it’s a better choice for warm weather than Journe’s traditional strap.
