    After seeing forum photos of the CF3 on a canvas strap [thank you Jarrod!] I had regretted not buying one when it was still available. When an unworn CF3 was offered to me recently, I couldn't pass it up. I bought it and immediately ordered a canvas strap. The strap arrived today and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the combination looks even better in person that it does in photos!

    I was really late to the party but sometimes you get lucky...

    Congrats and welcome to the party. I couldn't agree more, it is a stunner and I love my CF3 with canvas strap. (and yes, thanks to Jarrod!)

    Awesome mate! Congratulations. It really is the perfect Pilots watch, especially on that strap. And it will grow on you. Very cool.

    Congratulations, it really is a great watch! And so versatile; looking sharp on that strap, leather or bracelet!

    Thanks for sharing the idea! What a great combination!

    I recall reading that you were spending time in Toronto. Are you still in Canada? Let me know if you're planning a visit to Vancouver or Whistler.

    Thanks! I debated getting a steel bracelet, but when I saw how well the canvas strap matched the hands and numbers it just seemed like a better choice for me.
