Tudor black bay strap options please
Apologies if there are numerous threads about this already, I couldn't find much. Anyway, I want a strap for it as it's currently on a bracelet and as the lugs are fairly big, not all straps are ideal. So, is there anyone here with pics of a BB on a leather/rubber/nato or anything else for that matter. I don't know whether to play it safe with brown or try some colour, navy blue, grey etc. Any pics suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I like the look of the rubber b on the Rolex but not sure they would suit the bb as they are under the "for all watches" section. It would be great if they did a curved lug version specifically for the BB

Thanks to all for the replies so far. Lots of good suggestions so far. Like the brown strap with cream stitching on the blue BB and the red fabric on the red. Keep em coming. Someone posted a link to a thread where there are loads of pics and it made me realise how good the thing looks on a bracelet too. The more I wear the bb the more I like it which is unusual for a fickle watch owner like me

Bought an aviator jacked leather strap and added a deployment clasp to it; looks a lot like the OEM at a fraction of the cost ($50ish altogether). Pretty happy with the set-up. The standard OEM Nato is extremely comfortable but for the sake of preserving it I also added an aftermarket Nato today. It'll serve the purpose but it's not near as comfortable as the Tudor one which is a nice blended material. And of course there is the standard bracelet which came with my watch which is very nice as well.

Thought I would update the thread I started. Took me ages to find a strap I liked, looked at all prices but settled for a di modell which cost around £25 including shipping and I'm really pleased with it. I usually opt for hirsch but the hirsch equivalent was around 2x the price and I didn't like the finish as much. This has a Matte almost suede finish to it. If I can work out how to upload a photo on the forum I will.

I know this is an old thread, but do you recall the model of the DiModell you purchased?
Was it the "jumbo" by chance, as it seems to have a similar profile to the blackbay leather strap, without the distressed look. |

It was a "nevada" fairly thick but the lug gap is an issue still but the thickness of the strap helps narrow it a bit. Cannot post photos for some reason.
