Got sick of waiting...
I ordered a SS bracelet for my Tudor GMT last October. Finally broke down and ordered an Everest rubber strap. It arrived today...very pleased!
I will give my AD another month while I see how I like the watch on the rubber strap and cancel if the rubber works out. My instant response is extremely positive! What do you think? https://i.imgur.com/CWHX7Lv.jpg |

I have a feeling you're going to cancel before the month is up. It looks really good.

Pretty much...can’t believe it’s been ten months since I ordered it. The AD has followed up numerous times; a couple of weeks ago the Tudor rep said “soon”. Not holding my breath at this point.

I received my Everest this week and after wearing it I doubt I will go back to the bracelet. I may try their leather strap.

I wouldn't cancel the ss bracelet.
It's really nice and you'll have rubber and the steal once it comes in. Sounds good to me. |

I probably will, but I’m just frustrated that a simple item like bracelet (a Tudor) should take ten months. As many here probably know, Tudor used to supply both the bracelet and fabric strap. Guess I resent what appears to be obvious profiteering by Tudor/Rolex. I just don’t feel valued as a customer!

10 months for a bracelet is absurd. It’s the same bracelet as many other black bays. IMO your AD just isn’t giving you proper service in this situation. Go elsewhere. |

I like the look the rubber gives the watch but I wouldn’t cancel the bracelet, it’ll be nice to have both and switch as you’d like.

You've waited this long so keep waiting. You'll have both great options. I can't understand why they just can't send one out right away.

That is unbelievable...I can't believe it's taken this long.
That said, I'm a huge fan of how leather looks on this reference. |

Looks great! I just put my BB on a StrapCode rubber strap. It’s no Rubber B or Everest, but so far, so good! It’s extremely comfortable. Honestly, I think Tudors look great on both rubber and leather straps. Hope you enjoy it!

I bounce between Everest rubber, leather, and oyster in a couple watches. I would keep the order on. When you return to steel it's a treat.

Just order the strapcode Tudor bracelet for $100 and have it in 2 days from Amazon, then picked the $600 savings.
