LightGeek 25 Posted January 18, 2013 JLC owners unite! Why is this $600 watch stuck with a $0.50 strap? Sure, the watch isn't all perfect (misaligned markers, case finish issues, etc) but the strap is a big part of enjoyment. The only thread I found is a few years old and didn't get anywhere: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=7659 The size is 22/18 for deployant and seem difficult to find for under $80. I feel sorry for this watch. Suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted January 18, 2013 Well I contacted all the TDs for straps here first and Serge (DStraps) replied with some options. Will explore further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corv99 2 Posted January 21, 2013 Good Thread, and also worth having on such a nice piece, and worthy of a custom build of strap.... or even a collection of straps!! I have my eye on a Lange & Sohne at some stage and it will get a Donerix hornback as it suits it and it looks awesome.. this one however needs some options..

LightGeek 25 Posted January 21, 2013 Every time I pick up the JLC to wear, I put it down because the cardboard strap just doesn't feel nice at all. It's unfortunate :( It looks like in the box though. ________________ Sent from my mobile device. Please excuse the brevity of this post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted February 26, 2013 I ended up putting mine on this one, I really like the thicker straps that don't taper. http://www.panatime.com/nexlgeblhoal.html That's only because you have the SS and can do the SS buckle the RG buckle isn't available in ARD or that size, or something.
