Considering getting the Tudor Black Bay Black. I do not really care about the metal bracelet and would choose the lower priced "leather" option . However, the large gap really bothers me when looking at pictures of the Black Bay on the distressed leather strap. Is it just me, is anybody using end links? A thicker Nato strap seems to camouflage this a little bit. If you could post some pictures and recommendations...thank you

I couldn't look at it without the end links. It may not bother most but to me it did not look pretty.

Got end links for $80 on eBay.

Same here. Those endlinks are good quality too.

I use the endlinks for the leather and Isofrane straps. With a nato I don't find it visually necessary.

thanks for the pictures posted, any BB on Nato shots?

While I don't own a BB, I prefer the look with endlinks.

I had no idea it was possible to had end links for the BB; in truth I don't like the look seeing it here for the first time.

I think you should go ahead and get them as you don't like the look without. I think it's just personal taste and you have folks in both camps. I'm in the no end link camp, to my eye it doesn't look right with end links (unless on the steel bracelet).

looks amazing. Is the end link from the eBay seller wholesaleoutlet990? The big gap bugs me so much I haven't used my leather strap at all.

Not a fan of end links with leather. I prefer a curved end strap like those offered by Hirsch.

Don't need endlinks on the distressed strap, better for that rugged look.

Gooner67 · 11 May 2016, 10:48 PM

That's a no to end links for me!

Gooner67 · 11 May 2016, 11:06 PM

It's a no to end links for me! The leather strap has a real rugged look. Cheers
