I LOVE my Cape Cod. I wear it often.... I have a few different bands, single and double tour. I saw the bleu roi croc band the last time I was in the store and told DH to "make a note" ...
The croc bands definitely give it a whole different look. And the barenia double tour is really nice on it, too.

I do find the straps tricky to switch out by myself. I usually have them do it for me at the store.

Wow, GG.... you work fast!!!
the barenia double tour?? you'll really love it I think...

Is it hard to change the strap yourself?

 

[Sophiekins]

^ I think, yes, a little bit. I have DH do it... it's a little tricky pushing those pins down on the ends that go through the strap...maybe it's just me.

I really like it on a barenia double tour strap, if I were looking for a cheap-ish every day quartz I would probably get it.

I'd love an H strap form my JLC. Maybe a nice red croc Any idea what size/measurement H straps are?

I'm specifically interested in the one with two faces for different time zones. DUEX TIME or dual time, I think its called.

Does anyone have that one and is willing to post about it?

Thanks!

I have been thinking about this watch for quite some time and when I visited the Hermes store in Sydney and Melbourne they had no Cape Cod watches so I put my name down for one. They called me on Saturday and said that they had received stock from Paris.
I liked the look of the watch and even though they did not have the black strap I purchased the watch with the brown strap.

^^^very nice! I prefer the brown strap myself.

I love the Cape Cod. I have a stainless steel one with a black barenia double tour band. I also have a silver one that came with a gold courchevel band which I replaced with a fuschia ostrich one.

Sounds gorgeous Pepper, do you have any photos? I ordered a red alligator band as the SA said that the exotic bands can take up to 6 months to arrive.

Suzie: There is a shot of the fuchsia in the reference thread, it is with the photo of my raisin box white bus...unfortunately that is the only watch photo I have. Red alligator sounds divine!!

Refreshing this request. I have lots of overseas dealings, so the dual looks very useful.
Since I am pretty hard on my watches, am especially interested in durability of the cape cod watches.
