Pretty sure they are 19mm, I can measure mine to be sure. They come in red, black, brown, grey, green and blue. £130 and they come with the silver buckle.

Surprisingly cheap! Do they taper? Thanks

Ok yes I see it now, there is a lot more character to my strap than most others. Interesting catch!
Congratulations on a great addition to the watch collection.

I like to throw in my recently arrived TH black strap (FC6191) for comparison which also has a lot of character, not as much as yours though.

Thanks! Is that one gray or just light and photo fooling me?

Maybe combination of light and the colour of the material I place it on making it look gray.

Yes. I didn't think they did but they do. They are 19mm at the lug as I thought and half way down the strap they are 18mm, three quarters down they are 17mm and then it loses a bit more before the obvious taper to a point.

Saw it first on Instagram that Bro Jim got new watch !

Congrats !

let's us know someday soon, is my theory is correct that Tag Heuer made better finishing for "Heuer" only logo watch ?

I certainly feel so with my Telemeter and Calibre6

😉

I’m really happy for you sir @Jim Dollares and to the love/effort of sir Rob @Aquagraph 👍

What a way to end 2020 with a brand spanking new Heuer Carrera Silver 160! ::psy::

Started 2020 with an eye-popping / mouth watering revelation to kick-off 160 years of TAG Heuer this January, and now this December, already in the hands of genuine TAG Heuer enthusiasts 😉

I’m truly thankful to all of you guys and feeling hopeful for 2021! 😀

Thank you Otto 😀

Haha I will need to examine the details a bit more before I give you my final answer but yesterday I put it under the loupe and compared it with my CAR208z Heuer01 and first impression is that no, the CBK221B is not better finished, they are both on an excellent level.

Otto, which TAG Heuer branded watches are you comparing with when you say the telemeter and wv5111 are better finished?

Sounds like it would fit very nicely then!

All I can say is my TAG logo-ed C12 Monaco is finished exactly the same as my Heuer logo-ed C11 Monaco. I'll bet the TAG logo-ed JH88 Carrera is finished as well if not better than the Silver 160.

So it probably depends more on the given watches that he's comparing.

How's the rotor noise on the Heuer 02, Jim?

Hehe.... when I put the watch down on a table the rotor span and I thought 'what the f**k was that'.

It's LOUD.
