I think these two are a perfect match. The shape of this strap seems to go very well with the shape of the CX watch case. The "fins" on the strap seem to be an extension of the case.

That's a very robust strap and fits well with the CX line. Is that a Hirsch Extreme? I've been thinking of getting one or 2.

Good combo. Hard not be noticed at allThumbsup3.gif

Yep--that's a Hirsch Extreme. I also just got hold of a couple of Hirsch Accent straps which also look great.

I don't know, it's just me, but I prefer a diver either on a bracelet or a rubber strap. Plenty of others to wear on leather!

I agree that diver's still look best on rubber or steel but with all the choices of leather straps, it's very tempting and I always give inbamby.gif.

I have several small paint brushes that I keep at the office, in my laptop bag, the car, house etc. Whenever I see dust on my straps, I just buff them off with the brush on hand. That may be among the drawbacks of rubber.

I plan to try a nice rubber strap on my CX-1 soon.ThumbsUp02.gif Your photo and idea inspired me.

The only problem I have with the Extreme is the lack of buckle options. They should look to Isofrane as an example of how it is done. Both are pricey, but I am disappointed with being stuck with the rather ordinaty polished Extreme buckle -- no brushed option. I spent $$$ on a 22 and 24 and now have to buy and switch out buckles. BTW, if you buy from the authorized UK distributor, buckle prices are really inflated. The same hardware can be had elsewhere for a fraction of their cost.
