Just to point out, the cases are not the same.
The bracelet version was designed to be solely an integrated bracelet. You can see this better with the below pictures taken from the manufactures website.
My personal opinion is that the bracelet version of the C fits a broader range of wrists. For a smaller wrist like mine, to me, it looks better visually as the longer lugs on the strap version are gone.
Romain Gauthier C - Open Dial, Two Ways
A quick lunch last week and a chance to see a variation on my C6. This time paired with the bracelet (note, the straps and bracelets are not interchangeable; you pick your poison and die with it). The dials are also different; as with all the titanium bra...
One of those times that maybe “both” is the right answer.
Although for me, I think if I chose a bracelet version it may not this open dial.
Thanks for sharing the side by side comparison.

Indeed Marc.
The strap version does allow for much more flexibility as the straps (and the rubber ring on the crown) can be changed. The strap version is for sure a more sporty execution. Romain also offers a platinum version of the C on the bracelet. It’s quite the w...
Both are beautiful but
the strap version ticks all the boxes for me, being able to change the color of the strap is a huge plus too. Actually the strap version of yours lives rent free on my mind, hopefully one day in the future I can get one.
Rent free? All good ! 😂
I agree that the strap, as it does with other watches, offers great flexibility.
Thanks for the comparison Jay, in theory
RG could release a rubber strap that would snap on like a VC overseas.
Perhaps.
Not sure if that’s possible; and it wouldn’t look right. The differences in the two cases are such I think it just wouldn’t look right.
