So I finally got to my AD to switch my straps, once I've seen it done its super easy. Unfortunately only 1 of the 2 ended up fitting. The below one did not fit, the curved ends did not fit at all, the pin wouldn't line up.

However the other one did fit perfectly! The rubber feels great quality and feels really good on the wrist. Much easier than the original strap too. I like the look of it, colours match perfect. I can now use this piece

more often and not worry about damaging the original strap!

Well done!

Hey everyone! Do you perhaps know if the strap issues have been resolved in some later batches manufactured or if it's still a problem? I reaaaally like the watch and wanted to buy it but I wouldn't want to pay as much (it's a lot of money for a watch for me) and then keep performing a back-and-forth with warranty because of the strap or buy a replacement immediately 馃檨

There are many fakes of this watch out there. The subdials should not be silver. It can look white or off-white depending on the lighting. But even many fakes have the right color subdial. Some of the fakes look near identical to the real one, so you need to be careful if not buying from an AD.

Here's mine, bought new from an AD when the watch was first released.

Sub-dial color looks ok on yours from those pics. The silver sub-dials that I've seen on fakes are very silver. I can also tell some are fakes by the strap, but you've got an aftermarket strap on yours.

The original strap was too short for me. Not liking the suede leather replacement very much either. The colors match well but it just doesn't feel right. Not to mention it's a dust particle collector! I'm gonna have to go with the steel bracelet as they always feel just right. It's the BA0842 if I'm not mistaken

Yes, TAG actually sell that as a 'online special'.... here in the UK at least

I know it's kind of an old thread, but I used it to buy a strap for my new Tag CAZ101N Gulf F1 watch. After 2 days the factory strap was already showing wear so I searched online and found this thread. A huge thank you to TagZA. I bought the blue/orange silicone rubber strap he suggested from Strapsco.com. Two comments, look on Amazon, I paid $18 from Strapsco and it's only $16 on Amazon. That's unusual, normally I find it cheaper on the vendors own website, but not in this case. Second, the stock Tag buckle fits perfectly on this strap. Here's a photo:

I like the looks of the silicone blue strap that I got from Strapsco.com, however, it bugs me that the watch twists around on my wrist because the silicone is so slippery. So I'm saving the original strap in case I ever sell this watch and I bought a leather strap from Watch Strap World in England. It was only 33 pounds plus 11 pounds for shipping ($55 total). And the shipping only took 1 week. It fits perfectly, looks better than the original, and it doesn't slip around on my wrist. Oh and it's a little longer so it fits my wrist perfectly, the OEM was on the short side. Perfect. https://www.watchstrapworld.com/blu...r-f1-models-with-21-5-22-mm-lug-widths-5.html
