As I have mentioned earlier, I tend to always seek my reps to look as close to gen as possible.. and for the padding or what they call profile on CF website, I researched what is the profile and thickness of the gen strap on the 5227 and 5296, and profile is Round and thickness of 4.0 mm. that's the official gen strap from PP.. so I did it like that.

as for the configurator for Width, You can choose other and put in the size you want.. more expensive of course, but it is there..

Sounds great bro. Hopefully the next one will last you a lifetime.

They replied to me too. I can place an email order now. Looks like they had closed office during holidays and just and an emergency reply set up.

Thanks bro. Good to hear that. It's epic timing. I got the clarification and you got the reply at last :)

Very happy for you.. not surprised tbh. As I said.. it's a 300 euro strap.. and the company definitely would step up for such issue.. just keep it off any water .. and don't be afraid to take it off and putting it in your pocket if you feel there is a chance for it to contact moist of any kind :)

Hi guys,

I have a good and affordable option for those who don’t want to spend 300 usd in a cf strap. I ordered a cf for my calatrava, but I also bought a hadley roma shiny dark grey strap for my Moser rep in jomashop. The price was 50 usd, but because was my first bought in jomas I had a 20 usd discount, so I paid 30 usd. I think it does looks good and for 30 usd it’s an amazing option.

The hadley roma actually looks good. For that price its amazing.

Usually I am having my straps been custom made from Andrea at 'martu leather' in Chile. I already got a lot straps there and the prices start at 40 Euro. Buttersoft Panerai straps I got there. If you need a pam strap, she will "rep" it for you at an amazing price.

For the price of a gen RG Calatrava, I think to be beliavable you need the best. Actually I chose this watch only with the strap after comind to the thread. With a rep strap it doesnt make sense to me. The watch looks just perfect (unless you turn it around, what also isnt as bad as usual), so a cheap rep strap would bust it. I believe the "patek feel" comes just with the package on the ZF.

So thanks for the inspiration my friends! Didnt even know CF existed. :clap:

Ps: I think a new "rosegold and grey" trend is being created here. Never considered this would go together!

How did you get first order discount? I just registered but nothing is offered :)
