In the mail today I just got the metal BA0723 band for my Calibre 5 day date and for the life of me i cannot get it on!!!
I find having a springbar tweezer tool a must have for bracelets, makes the installation and removal so much easier.

@bdev and @Tag_ZA found aftermarket straps that look similar to the OEM Gulf F1. You can see their watches & straps in these posts:

FYI. Some people don't like the OEM Gulf F1 strap, as they feel its not comfortable. Also, the asphalt treatment of the leather material tends to show wear over time. Hence I've chosen to preserve my OEM strap and wear the watch with other straps.

I also wear mine sometimes with the C11 Monaco's Gulf calf strap, which I purchased for about $110 from an AD. So I'm surprised that the F1 strap costs so much.

I forgot to ask, how does that fit? I thought the Monaco strap was 22mm and the F1 Gulf was 21mm

The Gulf F1 is actually 21.45mm by my measurement, so a 22mm strap goes on fairly easily. The orange strap I have is also 22mm.

S/EL Chrono again today! So happy I found a NOS bracelet for this one, as it was on the S/EL straps for 30 years. The bracelet is so comfortable!

That is sweet!! Would love to own a Monaco. Had my eyes on one for a while now.
I thoroughly recommend. It’s like nothing else you will wear. They wear big, but it suits the watch IMO. The green dial is stunning also, but I do like the blue one a lot.

Didn’t notice before, how did you manage to get the one with a splash of blue on the dial and hand
