Looking good

I'm having trouble finding a link to photos of their entire collection of available straps. I was thinking of getting a different strap for my RG CS, likely the one you're sporting on your CB, but I'd like to see the options.

Check out TheJourneGuy on instagram, if you look through his pics, you'll see a few different straps, iirc.

All the colour are beautiful,
I have it in grey, close to the case colour, love it more than the original blue.
More important is to have a second buckle, it makes swapping the strap with no tools, a very simple process.

Was at the boutique today registering my CB and talking straps and such (decided to stand pat w my 2 for now, got a ton of compliments on the honey/caramel I was wearing today while I was boutique hopping).... asked about the tantalum deployant and was told they are harder than the watch to get ! Said they’ve seen one this year, will not be getting anymore , can’t order them, and won’t start a waitlist for them. Also confirmed was decreased production of the CB bc FPJ doesn’t want it to become their nautilus and detract from their core watches / lines. Also, asked if SA thought FPJ would make 38mm cases again and he didn’t seem to think so despite admirers of the brand asking for them .

While the FPJ straps are superb (I have four for my CB), I was keen to try other options, so was pleased to discover recently that "A Collected Man" were planning on releasing some straps in "FPJ spec" (quick release, curved spring bars, 20x19). That release happened yesterday, and I received my beautifully packaged straps this morning, and couldn't be happier with the fit and quality. I think both work nicely on the CB (which seems to work on almost any strap colour!), although I have already asked if they're planning on adding any more colours

(I have no connection with ACM by the way, other than being a happy customer.)

That top strap is amazing! Almost looks like a very fine suede. What is the material? I had looked at their site this week but they didn’t have what I wanted in blue so I went with something from Atelier del Sur for my LF.

Thanks! Neither offered in blue in the size I need. Was going to buy the Nice but as mentioned went with another manufacturer.

These look pretty cool, I like the Paris paired with a rose gold case on the website. I’m still waiting on a custom strap from Jean Rousseau for my CS, good to know there are other options with curved bars for these cases.

Awesome- thanks for sharing, relative to cost of a Journe strap at retail, looks well-priced. Let us know how they break in after a few days !

The tan strap looks really great on that watch but so does the burgundy.

Chronometre bleu straps- show me yours!

By the way, is there an official catalog one can see the different colour straps and costs? By the way, I heard there is deployant tantalum clasp, is that real? Anyone have a pic/pricing?

Thanks for sharing these watch straps makers. Do you happen to know if they do custom watch strap length orders? I like a few of their straps and would order if they came in shorter options.

Love your choice of straps... are those OEM? Any from ABP? My favorite straps are special tanning crocs.

I don't know to be honest, but worth asking - their customer service has been very good in my experience.

(The straps pictured above are OEM btw, I have pretty much the same set!)
