I ordered that blue one, will let you know my findings @imagwai
From GLC? Yes please. I've filled out their form to enquire on the price of a custom version to fit the Heuer clasp.

Not surprising it won the WOTY is it! I feel quite left out.... but not enough to buy one. Obviously.

I wonder how many watches we share? Not many... me and Albert both have CG1110s and a Microtimer/Micrograph... I think Albert and Mr Orange have the same Carrera as well, anything else we share? Maybe the Monaco 50s?

I think a few of us have the Calibre 18 Telemeter. And anyone else have a CS3110? I think maybe one other.

Oh Albert and I also have the 380.513 black and yellow F1, I must say Albert has exceptional taste. 😁

I think this is a nice discussion and topic sir Rob @Aquagraph . What watches in the collection are shared the same among different TH enthusiasts 👍

Yes, although it risks derailing this thread somewhat...

I've got the titanium Drive Timer, think I saw one other here in WRUW some time ago. Don't own any other TAGs though

I think maybe more than one person has the Bamford Aquaracer???

And we both have a Senna Formula 1, although not exactly the same version 👍

With @Snowy we also share the vintage F1, and I share with him the 6000 Senna, and the Connected Modular 45 mechanical modules Calibre 5 and Calibre 16 😀

Also some of us have the Monza 40th Anniversary

The CAW211P Monaco McQueen is commonly owned by many, certainly more than the Silver 160th.

Is the strap for the Skipper the same as FC6353 but with blue stitching?
I found that the FC6350 strap of the Skipper CAR221B is in fact all blue, so it would be the option to have a TAG Heuer blue rally strap -with blue stitching- in the CBK221B (also needing the purchase of the FC5049 buckle)

This blue FC6350 is also the strap of the Carrera “Blue Dreamer” CAR221C and of the Carrera Calibre 6 WV5111 (I don’t know if more TAG Heuer watches are also sharing this strap)


Blue Dreamer FC6350 strap


The blue FC6350 and the black FC6353 straps side by side... a subtle difference, but for sure both could look great on the silver Carrera 160 CBK221B 🥰

Funny you should mention that because I have already ordered the FC6353 strap from Tag Heuer (blue stitch version). I was going to get the all black, but that would have taken 3-4 weeks to arrive, whereas the blue stitch was in stock. Should be here next week. I believe this strap is used on the Hodinkee Skipper as well as the Blue Dreamer and Cal 6.

I think FC6353 is full black (the Telemeter strap), while FC6350 is dark blue with blue stitching (Skipper, Blue Dreamer, and Cal 6 strap)

If you ordered the Carrera rally strap with blue stitch, then it’s the FC6350 and not FC6353, isn’t it?
Or is there a black rally strap with blue stitching sharing same number FC6353 with the full black strap? 😕
