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? 😕
Sorry, I get confused with the numbers. It's the blue stitch one I've ordered FC6350. I thought the strap was black but maybe slightly less dark, or maybe it has a slight blue tint? Not sure, will report when it arrives next week!

And yes, can confirm that these straps both need the FC5049 buckle to take a 3mm strap rather than the FC5042 that comes with the CBK221B.

Yes, depending on the light of the pictures FC6350 could seem black, but in accordance with Calibre 11 report on the Carrera Calibre 6 with that FC6350, is blue (really dark blue though):

And I found a shop selling the original FC6350, including pictures also from black straps, so then it’s easier to compare:

Looks so dark blue it's almost indistinguishable without good lighting and the black one next to it. Either works for me, but tbh I don't really need the strap as I'm pretty happy with the blue one I've already got. Main thing I wanted was the clasp so I can put the one I borrowed from the Telemeter back 😀

I love that strap! I'm using the 22mm version (FC6300) on my Monaco. Same very dark blue leather and blue stitching.

It's a very dark blue. LOL. But you can only really see the blue in sunlight. 😉

The green strap for the Autavia looks pretty black as well, in the boutique at least...

So I concede that it probably is dark blue, but much darker than the other blue strap I bought, and in most lights it looks black 😀

I think a little bit of colour does this watch a world of good.

That’s where the different strap comes in 😉

Here’s a couple of pictures on different styles and shades of Delugs straps. They are very nice. Alligator and Russian Hatch

That brown Russian Hatch strap looks great! I also really like the brown rally strap you had on a while back too! 👍
(I must have an affinity for brown leather with the Silver. 🙄)
