I need to go into my local boutique and see if the black leather/rubber with red stitch will fit my Carrera Calibre 36 Racing. If so, that plus the black, titanium deployant would be a lovely match and a fairly cost effective strap/deployant compared with the OEM strap alone.

Do you know that it’s not leather and rubber, but just rubber imitating being leather?
Even though I have no interest in the Connected, I do enjoy Albert's encyclopedic knowledge of every possible facet of the range.😀
The rubber straps are actually really good quality. No one would ever know it's not leather that's how good they look. The leather straps for the 45 were silly since it was a super thin piece of leather glued to a rubber strap anyway. And sweat would seep through the threads and ruin the leather.
Maybe at some distance someone can believe they are real leather... but you know it’s just rubber pretending be leather 😟
I think true leather straps should be offered for the Gen3 Connected as well, just like for the two previous generations
I don’t have this problem with sweat on any of my Modular 45 leather straps. In fact, I think this combination of rubber on the inside and leather on the outside offers more durability and resistance to the strap, compared to a leather-only strap.
So I don’t find them silly at all. And in fact they share the design with the leather straps of the Carrera 45mm Heuer 02 Tourbillon 👍

Obviously everybody has different tastes, but those rubber straps are not comparable to the look of the leather straps and are not my cup of tea. I'm hoping for a more traditional look to wear with suits.
Have you seen one in person? They look very detailed and good value for the money. I'm sure leather will come and probably be 400 to 500 hundred dollars. I think TAG will release new straps per season. Also I believe these straps will fit the gen 4 since they are so basic, unlike previous gens. If not I'll never buy another tag product again.
