I am in line to add an FPJ CB in the very near future. I’d like to get a second strap that allows for more casual wear on the weekends but am having trouble deciding. For those that have it, would you recommend the orange (very cool but maybe too out there), red (same), grey (not casual enough?) or camel?

All comments are appreciated!

Sincerely,
Darren

Tan (caramel) and orange, in order. Both looks fantastic. IMHO the tan is a must

Orange n grey, is there a dark brown for more business like look?

tng11 · 3 August 2018, 11:41 PM

Orange.

Grey is nice but a bit dressier.

Yes - a dark brown which is a bit reddish:

This watch is awesome. Not sure I like that brown. I think I’d stay with stock, Grey, and orange for fun

That watch is so gorgeous, I don't think you can go wrong.

I just got my CB 2 days ago and went with the caramel. Next one I get will be grey. Here are some pics.
The first one is a very light tan which looks yellow in certain lighting. Then the grey and the caramel.
Next to the grey is the glossy grey which wasn't to my liking. I prefer the matte.

Has anyone seen the glossy red in person. Tempting...

You're asking about the second best strap choice, but what's the first?

I would guess black and then dark blue. So your casual strap would actually be ranked #3.

The strap it comes with (dark blue) is the first. IMO there is no need for black as the dark blue is very dark and the black would be redundant (to me). So my plan is basically to wear the watch with the dark blue strap during business and dressier occasions, and am looking for the best “casual” strap option to wear on the weekend with shorts and a short-sleeve tee shirt or polo.

Oem and grey for me on this one.

The original band is the dark blue

The Boutique will give you another one, I tried the orange one which I liked from the pictures I saw, but it did not suit with the way I dress as a bit too flashy IMO. So I chose the more classic grey, with no regrets, I prefer it to the blue now.
