My Barton’s have arrived

Really pleased with my recent Barton Elite purchases.

The blue on the Steeldive is only temporary and is meant for another watch yet to arrive. I did want the black and yellow for it but they were out of stock.

They are a wonderfully comfortable strap. I can’t vouch for their longevity but for now I’m a happy customer.

They look quite nice, if they have some 18mm options I might have to check them out.

I have he same orange/black band on my daily tool watch and a light grey/black one in reserve.  Light weight and very comfortable and clean up nicely in dishwater.

18mm through to 24mm in 1mm increments my friend. I’m sure you’ll find something you like there…..they have a really good range of colours. Good luck

Can't go wrong with Barton! I love their elite silicon straps. Have you tried any other straps from Barton?

Don’t get me started on that route 🤣 I think I’ve reached a point of being comfortable with the straps I’ve got for the various watches……bar one that is 🙄

I just ordered one of their Gaucho straps for a blue dial dress watch. I think it will be the one! 😍

I will be sure to do that. 😀

With the Gaucho, I think I will have at least one of every strap they offer.

How do you find their elite silicone compared to their soft silicone range? They look to be made of different material. Are the ‘soft’ as soft and supple as the elite? How do the colours compare - for example (if you’ve got them) is the navy blue the same blue across them both?

The elite silicon are slightly stiffer than the soft silicon, but the colors do seem to match pretty close. I prefer the elite silicon over the silicon. Also, here is the Gaucho.

Thanks. I do like the Elite so will probably keep paying the slightly higher price for those. 
Yeah I saw your post on the Gaucho - you’ll have to keep us up to speed with how that stitching wears 👍🏻
