Tudor GMT on a Pelagos rubber strap

I’ve always liked the Pelagos rubber strap and wondered whether I could fit it to my Tudor GMT.

So I took the gamble and ordered some Black Bay 79220R end links, a Pelagos rubber strap and a tang buckle from my AD.

Fits perfectly, no issues at all. The GMT is summer ready!

Looks good mate - any idea if it would work with the deployant clasp which comes with the leather?

You have me an idea to what my first rubber strap will be.
Looks beautiful.

Looks really good like this, i want to try this for mine as well. But a question why do you have to order additional Black Bay 79220R end links ? Does the original end links on the Tudor GMT wont match the pelagos strap? thanks

I am a bracelet guy. But even I have to admit that looks sharp.

Correct, they don’t fit as centre link gap is too small on the faux rivet end links - you need the old non-rivet ones to fit the Pelagos strap. These fit perfectly in to the watch so no issues once you acquire them.

Were you able to order those end links from an AD or did you find them online?

How did your AD manage to order that for you? I'm trying to do something similar, and apparently neither the Canadian nor the US Service Centres will agree to sell the strap to either the ADs I've asked, or directly to me since I don't own a Pelagos.

I’m based in the UK. I literally just asked my AD and they were able to order them. I had to provide my GMTs serial number and that seemed acceptable, received the items I ordered about 3 days later!

Yep ordered from my AD. It seems like some people have had trouble ordering parts for differing models in the past, but I had no such issues

Looks good thanks for sharing, I am sure there are members with the GMT who wondered if it would work
