Very nice, congratulations. The CB is one of my favorite watches and I'm happy to have had one for a couple of years.
I agree with others and your thoughts that the lighter blue does not go well with the CB. I have a caramel OEM (like everyone else I guess) and also a grey OEM. The grey matches well but is very subtle. If you want "pop" then perhaps some orange! |

Wow congratulations. I think blue is fun. I'd keep it for casual summer occasions

Thank you all
Well, hypothetically, if I have a chance to exchange the light blue strap with another color and I have only the 4 choices in the attached photo, which way I should go? 1- Just get another caramel and keep it as a spare? 2- get the darker blue glossy shade (not sure in flesh if I am going to like it, also I don't think the green will go well with the watch, no?)? Also, I am not sure of the life-time of such straps if they are stored for long time (in case I get another caramel as a spare), do they get dry and damaged after some time if not used? I never used natural crocodile skin straps before so not sure if buying for storing is a good idea. |

Thank you for your recommendation, you have a fantastic collection and the IG photos are really great. So this orange strap is different from the caramel /beige strap? |

Thanks. Are you referring to tan strap when you say caramel? Orange is a different strap. I have also custom made CF strap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congratulations, it's a stunning watch! I walked in to my local AD a few days ago and they happened to have one which I tried on. Very tempting!

Congratulations Helmi. Cannot wait for mine. I am picking it up in 3 weeks time. Ot let us say 3 weeks 2 days.
Like you I do not have a local AD. The decision to select a right strap was a difficult one. The colors in the strap catalog that FPJ gives does not match the actual one. Changed my mind couple of times. Finally went with the tan color |

Archer75 - Love the photos. Is the strap photo taken with the blue shoes background the tan OEM strap?

Great watch, enjoy!
Mine is on a black strap, rubber backed, but the colors you've chosen are very fun! You can buy an all natural leather protectant cream to apply on the straps if you like. |

Great watch by the iconoclast genius FP Journe. Your strap looks great. I went with the dark blue strap maybe a little more versatile.

Beautiful. I'm on the list for this one... but the only Canadian AD on the phone suggested that I need to buy another FPJ before being allowed to buy a CB. These kind of games...
