From Paris, France ... a great strap

 

Team,

I'm a strap person and I care, as much I do with my few watches, about the straps that I use on my watches.

I did many attempts to get a strap that was comfortable and has the style that, IMHO, matches my MCM.
I hear, here and there, that Camille Fournet was a great producer of straps and also, not verified, was also the supplier of JLC.
I always had the impression that the CF straps were expensive (Euros are expensive on my local currency) and I never tried to confirm.

One week back, I dusted my French and took the chance to order a strap from Camille Fournet.

I choose, after all it was my first order, the less expensive one, a "Bracelet prêt-à-porter"  made with "Veau Barenia".
I select black, of course, and at the end of the order I mentioned that the watch as a JLC MCM.
The strap total cost, including the shipping (FedEx), was not expensive.

What happened next was a surprise. Next day I got an email, from CF, stating that "a straight fitting at the case can’t fit on your JLC Master Compressor Memovox, only a curved fitting at the case strap is adapted to your watch."

And the best part:

"We can made your strap for your watch (with curved fitting at the case) for the same price."

This is a great service.

Of course, I agreed and after a few days, another pleasant surprise: The strap arrived and is just wonderful.

Here are the pics:

5) The strap on my AMVOX1 (the AMVOX 1 original strap deserves some rest - the MCM will be on my the next order)

Summary: CF got a new customer. Great experience end to end. Highly recommended.

Learning: Always check. Sometimes we believe that something is costly and is not.

Cheers
