Now I really love this watch!

I was switching back my original strap on my 5004 while wearing my Volvo Ocean Race YC when I realized that the BP edition DFB strap I was removing might look nice on the Yacht Club. I had never been really satisfied with the rubber strap on the Yacht Club and had been looking for an alternative for some time now. Turns out I had the perfect strap already in my collection! It always amazes me how a strap can change a watch and now I love this one even more.

Wow. Nice Ben, I have to agree, that looks awesome! I have ordered a new strap for my YC. Can't wait to get it, I think it will change the watch. Very cool mate.

The structure of the strap fits the structure of the dial: a great combination! Certainly because I don't like the look and feel of the rubber strap, this to me is a fantastic solution. Enjoy it!

Kind regards,
Paul

Ben,
That strap looks fantastic on the YC. It is a really great combination with the carbon fiber dial. One version (I cannot decide!) of the YC will be my next IWC. Thanks for posting these great photos.

Awesome pics!!! They look so cool. Hard to believe I was on that boat last week.

Ben, this strap structure in combination with the dial looks really awesome.

Unbeatable combo.

Cheers Chris

Not just on it, you were sailing it!

That looks fantastic. A perfect combo! Congratulations on that watch and your taste.
