the shop I got it from also has similar fit straps from Hirsch for a deployment clasp which they also sell - I think the strap and clasp together for that version was about £75

This certainly makes a compelling case for being THE strap to wear with this watch. Love how the lug gap is completely gone. Very, very nice. Wear it well!

Just picked up a Crafterblue time to test it out. The dark blue looks great with the bezel it is almost black with just the right hint of blue.

I had never heard of Crafter Blue....certainly a lot cheaper than RubberB, although I like using the Tudor déployant.

Initial impressions are that it's outstanding for the price. It has a metal keeper though I'd prefer it to be rubber for weight and comfort. And it sits just flush against the bottom of the bezel so rotation is slightly harder. But the dark blue is absolutely perfect!

Sits a bit high but looks like it will provide good lug protection.

Ugh so that whole rubber b isn’t good for bigger wrists isn’t exactly true... I am about 7.5 too. Looks like I’ll have to buy a deployant from and AD. You like the rubber b better than the OEM bracelet? If I buy a deployant and rubber b, I am pushing bracelet price.

I bought the watch on bracelet and got the AD to order me in a leather strap and déployant at a discounted price. It was still plenty of money, but I really like the Tudor déployant. I then got the RubberB (my first)...so now I have all three options. As an aside, the bracelet/straps are interchangeable with other Black Bays. I keep thinking I may well buy a B.B. Chrono in the future, in which case I would buy the cheapest option....

Spring time is approaching, what straps are we putting our GMT's on this spring?

That’s actually the camo strap from the Ranger. But I think a black fitted rubber is a knockout on this watch. This is from vanguard and is half the price of rubber b or Everest. |

Anyone finding that the area between lugs gets pretty scratched up from the SEL rubbing on there?

Why do some pictures show the strap keeper on the 12 o'clock side and some are on the 6 o'clock side? Please share the pros and cons and your preference. Thanks |
