I have that blue one on the 1153. Very nice strap, not as light blue as you’d expect from the website pictures though.

Oh wow thanks for sharing, that is really false marketing. Now I dont want it. (Not hating on your strap per se, just want a brighter colour 😀)

No indeed, I ordered it only after looking it up on watches on IG as too bright wouldn’t match the Carrera. Atelier Romane have an excellent Corfam style in brighter blue.

Pretty sure this is the strap on that Monaco at the Phillips auction. With a B buckle iso sun buckle.

Since you like bright colors, it's too bad you missed GLC's Mercedes 190SL strap from a few years ago. Would go nicely with your Benz. 😉

Saw that the Porsche straps are still available. Even though I dont own a Porsche it would be cool to have one of those! Suits the Carrera watch very well

GLC's first Porsche strap, from a burgundy 928 seat, was even prettier. 😀

Very nice indeed. Looks great with that Speedy.

Are you absolutely sure it's the same one? Yours looks more like the "Cinturino Racing Replica 2 Corfam Cuoio Blu Scuro Vallelunga" (pic 1) rather than the "Cinturino Racing Replica 2 Corfam Cuoio Blu Vallelunga" (pic 2).

Sure looks more like the top one. This was the description in the invoice.

What does this mean?
Retro TAG Heuer B Heuer buckle instead of the original Heuer ‘sun buckle’. These have a sun marking on the inside and go for +500 euro these days. Lots of fakes around though.

You think maybe they gave you the wrong one then?

The names are pretty confusing but the one I got is the one I wanted. A better match for the subdials. Bright blue wouldn’t work so well. Best to ask them before shipping. Maybe translate to Italian though.

Update on
My Carrera 360 is COSC but after I got it back from the date change issue I'm struggling to even get below +6s in every position (no position with a loss) although fully wound an wearing daily to keep power reserve topped up. I prefer to balance timekeeping with gain/loss instead of hacking every 10 days.

Probably going to request regulation with the positive being it doesn't need to go all the way to TH HQ but Pforzheim (DE).
Follow up on above post, I've set in motion the shipping to get it regulated with my regular contact at customer service, she's very accomodating helping me out.

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.
