·Great combo, this one’s lighter than mine.

·Looking good Charlie! Does it appear as light irl as in the photos?

·Depends on the light obviously. Can look dark, but if the light hits it, it is quite obviously blue. I'd say the photos are reasonably accurate. Maybe a little brighter irl even.
Robert! The blue sharkskin is brighter right?

·So I couldn't resists ordering a GLC strap for myself, since I thought it would go very well with the blue accents on the Reissue Carrera, and pair well with the Heuer buckle! Here are the results. It's a dark blue, but much more like the brighter blue in the second picture above I'd say.
That's the bottom one (pic2) that you got, right? Although @Yago ordered supposedly the same one, his definitely looks like the top one (pic 1). It's all good since you both got what you wanted. 👍
I'm very happy with both of my straps from GLC, they're great! I've put my Porsche strap on my Speedy for the time being, as I'm really enjoying the Corfam rally style on my Dato. Easier for me to swap watches than to to swap straps in order to appreciate both of my straps.
On a side note, the TH Boutique told me that the 16mm B buckle is out of stock in the US. Mine is on backorder and should arrive in about 3 weeks. So maybe Jim will get his first.

·Yes, this one is still dark, but a little bit brighter and reflective. Thought your one was more like the first picture I posted. It's a good strap. A tiny bit thinner than I was expecting, but it has a great leather smell and is very soft, light and comfortable.

·Looks awesome and matches well with the blue accents on your Reissue! Much more blue compared to Yago's.
That's the bottom one (pic2) that you got, right? Although @Yago ordered supposedly the same one, his definitely looks like the top one (pic 1). Also yours is the padded style, while Yago has the flat style. It's all good since you both got what you wanted. 👍

Yours looks excellent on the FOIS. But then the FOIS looks great on any strap to be honest. I used to wear mine on either a brown rally strap, or a plain black strap. Looked great on both.

·I was editing my response when you replied, as I noticed yours is indeed the thinner style. I like both, my Porsche strap is the thin style, while my Corfam is the padded one.

·My ‘70s Carrera, Montreal and Autavia have 20mm lug width so I can’t interchange the straps of my 39mm Carreras with them unfortunately. This also means I can’t use my vintage corfam on the Dato which is a crying shame.

·So my AD just contacted me to say that 2 Heuer buckles came in for me. 19,5 euro a piece... I should start a little Ebay business.

·As an FYI, I've found post lockdown servicing turnaround time in the UK to be very quick, just 3 to 4 weeks, even for an automatic. I guess they didn't have much of a backlog once the boutiques reopened 😀
