Tudor snowflake combo

Tried out a new suede strap and endlink combo.



I think the blue suede matches wonderfully.

I dig it, that insert is something else, I think it might look a bit better without the endlinks though, kinda throws off the distressed look

Wow love it, Perfect for summer.
I dont like the end links either.. but maybe it's because I associate that strap without it.

You could use scotch tape to hold that watch and it would still look incredible. The case, dial, hands and insert are all fantastic.

I typically do not like end links with straps, and may prefer it in your case as well, but of all the end link pics I've seen - this one I actually don't mind!

Wow, you guys are tuff. 😉

I thought the end links would be a hit?

Is this better?

Ha, now it doesn't feel right.

The hole in the strap is too tight, and the next one is too lose.

I generally don't like end links, but it looked pretty good to me in your first pic. Maybe it was the overall effect. Either way looks great!

Thanks for all the comments, guys.

I've had the strap and watch for 10 months, just never worn it yet.

My gmt, sub and now speedie (back from service)have been getting most of the wrist time. But that will have to change! I love this combo.
Thanks again.

Great combo there. I also prefer without the end links on a vintage piece like this. Can I ask where the strap was sourced?

I think I am the only one here who does not like it. Takes away the vintage tool look of the watch and makes it look too 'fluffy'.

On the other hand, that bezel
