Help with Camille Fournet strap order

Hey guys,

I'm in the process making an online order from CF's site.

Does anyone know what the profile of the stock OEM strap is?

Amongst the choices offered, square or hexagonal seems to be the closest match.. but just wanted to confirm.

Thanks,

Thank you! That hexagonal strap profile complements the powerful presense of the 5370P very well!



Just got an email reply from CF.

It seems the OEM strap is 4mm with square profile.

Interesting, I would of said the OEM is less than 4mm but perhaps the hexagonal makes a difference.

Hey I'm not sure this is right. I think it is either 3.5 or 4mm with round (ronde) profile. You might want to double check with CF one more time...

Thank you for your interest in Camille Fournet.
To my opinion the OEM strap is a 4mm square profil.

I remain at your disposal,

Yeah I understand CF thinks it's square but I don't think Patek uses a square profile. If you want it to look OEM that is. Perhaps check with Patek... Here's a picture from Patek.com - definitely a round profile.



I should add that square or round is fairly subtle and CF does great work so you will have a great strap either way.

Go with 4mm round profile padded but email / make notes on order to ensure that it tapers down to 1.9-2mm so that the deployant clasp can slide on easily. Also dont forget to note the strap to have quick release cut tabs for the springbars at watch case end side of strap. The size of strap depending on your wrist if its medium size go with either custom 125 / 65mm or 115/75mm if you find watches sit lower or higher on the wrist. I am eagerly still waiting for my straps..

Noted. Thanks for your advice!

Is there any functional reason the stock OEM strap has the round profile with padding?

I am partial and tempted to order it with a flat profile and no padding....
