F.P. Journe

Nice combo Jim.

 

The CB is so versatile, almost any strap works well and generally the brighter and bolder colours work best.  


Question.  How did you spec the padding (thickness) on the strap? And did the choice of skin dictate the padding in any way.

It took weeks to get the strap but was well worth it…Jim

The contrast is great

I got the idea from another purists on this site with a red strap and ordered it right away…JIm

Hi Jay, you are correct

About the huge difference a strap can make on the Bleu, I will probably get more colors since they are so easy to change. The strap was a gift from the NYC Boutique and something made for them, besides the length, I didn’t have input. That being said, I l... 

Thanks Jim.

It does bring something different to the watch when you use a more padded strap like this, versus the super thin gators.

It reminds me a bit of how the Ming JR straps wear on my CB.

I tend to prefer a slightly more padded look than the OEM Journe gators as well.

I’m very much on the other side.

I think the Journe OEM double sided straps are my number one. Would replicate for other watches but I think one the case thickness increases even a few MM then extra padding is necessary.

The strap is amazing. I won’t say anything more about the watch though - it sort of speaks for itself. 😆

Jean Rousseau is where I buy all my straps and they are one of the best. Below were the most recent straps, and will be heading back for a new one soon. ...

The red strap on the CB makes all the difference in the world, I will be getting other colors as well. I still have the Pam 172 we traded for and love that watch, did you keep the Pam 65? Hope all is well with you, we are doing great in SoCal. PM me if yo...
