Very nice. The rep leather straps usually are not the best quality I've found. I try to stick with the metal bracelet and if I'm going leather pick one up separately. Enjoy it!

Looking for a new strap on Ali.

Welcome here.
Your watch is stylish and very nice.

I think you will find that for many reps a few basic modifications are well worth the money.

One is to get a quality strap as mostly rep-straps let down the watch considerably. Look around here before you spend time on Ali. The quality level this watch requires is probably not available from China, and a mediocre strap will let down this watch.

Also with many reps an AntiReflex coating of the crystal can be a fantastic investment, as can a good re-lume. Depends on the specific rep.

All in all I have learnt that the acquisition of the rep is only a part (sometimes the smaller part) of the total cost, but then I have ultimately had a lot of pleasure from my watches once these basic upgrades had taken place.

Handsome. Lookup the Vietnamese croc strap makers on eBay and get a custom strap with a lot of texture. You'll be so happy with it. Think of it this way, any strap, even a genuine Cartier strap will wear out and need to be replaced. Just cut to the chase and replace it! No need for gen strap.

Congratulations! Very nice watch, thinking of buying one for myself. But beforehand I would like to have sorted out and clarified the question of a quality strap for the Tank Mc. Could you please enlighten me with the measurements for lug width and buckle size?

Again congratulations and wear your new watch in good health!

26mm lug and 20mm at the buckle... finding a good aftermarket is a challenge...i found a black lizard strap from Vietnamese dealer on ebay that was thin enough to fit a double deployant cartier buckle i purchased m2m on another forum.

I found an Italian strap maker on Ebay, Riccardo Marcone, he can provide an Alligator strap for 150 euros. I would say 25 mm width instead 26 mm at the lug.

Just stumbled n this thread, whilst looking for something else.
Great info regarding the straps guys, many thanks!
Have been considering getting one from WS at some point but may I ask, how are you all finding the DW?
It appears as though the primary numeral is smaller than the secondary, is this the same as the gen?

Love my MC, but the ONLY way to get a decent strap that fits is to have a custom one made--25mm lug width is just stupid IMO. I asked vnhandcraftart on eBay to make one for me and he did an outstanding job-- it really looks gen. I'll post a picture tomorrow when I'm at my laptop-- can't get stupid photobucket to work o. The tablet.

Highly recommend above seller, but you have to be patient-- took about 6 weeks to get my custom job.

Hi, cleebeauregard

How the strap does it cost you ?
