This will be the last picture of my Tudor Sub 75090 that I can post.
Just sold it . . . . .
And now that I have to let go of it I already miss it.
My wife probably even more. . . . she was wearing the Tudor Sub all the time and now she's disappointed that here favorite watch is sold . . .

This is the start for a new hunt to find . . . ?

All advice welcome

Thanks, Dan! I had my doubts about whether they'd work together, but the combo surprised me.

I was thinking of giving that strap a try but thought it would be too thick to use with end links. But the design naturally reduces the gap and the width gives it a substantial, yet very appropriate heft.
