Hey Guys
Just received my Orange Watch Strap.
Great turn around time.
Ordered Tuesday night and delivered Thursday night. Very very impressed.

It's great to have an option to swap straps.
Just gives the watch a different look every few days. Now I just hope they make a yellow Strap in the near future.

Cheers Anthony

Here’s a pick of the black titanium with the khaki rubber strap.
They should offer the straps also with black buckle option (as they did with Gen2 Modular), to better suit the black titanium version 👍

I was thinking the exact same thing Albert.

Maybe in the future they will offer -at least- separate black buckles as accessories, because the buckle of the factory installed rubber strap for the black titanium version is black, so the buckle already exists in black... now they just need to be sold separately

if only the buckle wasn’t permanently attached to the watch strap...

Is it not detachable by a springbar?

How are the Gen3 rubber straps compared with Gen2 rubber straps? Are they made by same kind of rubber? They look not so well finished as Gen2 straps, but maybe it’s just for the pictures

BTW, I like your Gen2 Modular pink rubber strap from the Giro d’Italia Special Edition! This one is missing in my collection! 👍

Same quality, a little bit narrower and thinner.

Ok, maybe it's because you see this joint now, that the Gen3 rubber straps don't seem as well finished as the Gen2 ones

Albert- thank you so much for that suggestion! Here is the finished product and also an overlay pic of Gen2 vs Gen3 strap width and length. I do like the material of the new straps better as they feel more pliable and in my opinion the whole watch is more comfortable to wear.

Thanks for the comparison! 😀
It looks much better now with the black buckle! 👍

BTW, do you also have the straps of the BMC/TH cycling team edition? 😀 Half yellow rubber strap with TH logo and half red rubber strap with TH logo? Where did you find them? @ddaenen1 also had them, but he sold it by ebay... maybe to you? 😉

These (and the pink rubber strap with TH logos from the Giro d’Italia edition, and the orange rubber strap with TH logos) are missing in my collection, but I don’t know where to find them!

Please post pictures of your Connected collection in this thread! 👍

According to US customer service, the part number for the black buckle is SC5091 and the price is $110. There aren’t any available at this time, but I spoke with a woman in customer service who was very accommodating and she said she would call me when they get some.

in the meantime, I will just keep swapping buckles ... Here is the black buckle on the orange strap that arrived today. Cheers!

$110? It’s quite expensive for just the black buckle, when the complete rubber strap -including the silver buckle- costs just $100... but at least you will be able to buy them separately and upgrade your straps! 👍

Anyway, the black titanium buckle for Gen2 Modular 45 (FC5081) costs around $300... so $110 doesn’t seem so bad! 😁

What I don’t understand is that TH are not offering the straps in two options as they did with Gen2: strap with silver buckle, or strap with black buckle, because the black titanium Gen3 obviously looks much better with the black buckle! 😎 Maybe in the future?

BTW, I was looking at the TH website for the price of the Gen3 straps, and found this “Limited Quantity” label on the Gen3 black titanium version...



Is this new? or this black titanium version was always some kind of Limited Edition?

This touch of exclusivity makes the black titanium version even more attractive 👍

That’s because there is little stock currently, it’s not a limited edition.

Either a rendering mistake or a blue version is forthcoming

Hello All,

I am about to purchase the 2020 All black Titanium case version (SGB8A80)

Does anybody know if a black Metal/Titanium strap is/will be available for the 2020 Black Ceramic Bezel - SGB8A80
or if any other Tag Heuer black matte metal bracelet would nicely fit on it? Or any other black titanium brand for that
matter?

Attached is a copy of my Fossil Gen 5 with a Stainless Steel Metal strap. Strap is rather nice (22mm) but not in any way up to par with the Tag Heuer.

Thanks!

Stay safe.
Pierre.
