Blasphemy?
I recently acquired a Tudor Hydro 1200 and was considering options for the strap. I had a Zodiac jubilee bracelet laying around, so....wait for it...I decided to give it a try.
Yes? No? Maybe? A Zodiac bracelet on a Tudor? Not sure if I'll keep it, but I at least wanted to try it out. Comments welcome. Thanks, -Marc

IMO that would be a no.

Looks better than expected but would look more natural (less like an afterthought) if it were flush with the case (end links).
Most of the purists would not approve, but a mod like that is easily reversed. |

Without the endlinks that would be a no.

Looks like the case 'overpowers' the bracelet. Just my opinion.

I actually like it. I do think it might look a little better with end links, but I think it looks good as is!

Kinda like it but the clasp having the Zodiac logo would bother me. Then again I am OCD

Agree that it needs end links but you don't know unless you try.

No from me. But I think it'd look good on a NATO so what do I know?!

I'm not fond of the look. That case looks very thick. Maybe a Nato or Rubber B would look great. :-)

I would vote no. That space between lug holes screams aftermarket.

End links was my first thought too. Looks unfinished, mismatched, pieced together. Just my humble opinion, but since you asked.

The problem is not that its a zodiac bracelet. It would look just as strange with a super jubilee on it. I think a different strap entirely would be your best bet. All in my opinion

I like it. If you like it, who cares what others think... That's the fun part of this hobby in trying new combos...

I'll give you a 3/10 for the effort, but the other 7/10 say take it off.
