Question is, should I leave the strap white, or dye it black?

Dr. Robert · 30 June 2010, 01:49 AM

NOOOOOOOOO.....Mark don't dye it!
If you must have black, see if you can get the same Tudor strap in black.
Wear white from now until labor Day...then swap to black after!

I like that idea!

JUSTROLEXES · 30 June 2010, 01:52 AM

I would keep it as is Dr or just get a factory grey color band...
I Think it should look great

as long as you stay away from Nato on this one you're safe

esm · 30 June 2010, 01:58 AM

leave it white to match your pearly white teeth.... Dr. ;-)

as suggested, source a black one to change it up :-)

kcmo · 30 June 2010, 02:00 AM

I'd say wear it as it is for a bit and see how you like the white strap. I wouldn't dye it....just buy a black one later or go for another color.

Do not dye it black! Take it off and store, and buy another strap. Since this is a racing watch (I recall Porsche Design had something to do it), a black strap with large holes would look great.

vitix · 30 June 2010, 02:24 AM

go to panatime.com and get more straps...

Dan Pierce · 30 June 2010, 02:29 AM

As the good Dr. Roberts says, buy a black strap from Tudor or a Hirsch Golfer [leather on top, rubber on the bottom].

MortgageGuy · 30 June 2010, 02:31 AM

Leave it white!!!

Chipmunk · 30 June 2010, 02:48 AM

Don't dye it, Mark.......Just get an extra strap. It would look even nicer on black.

Rolesor · 30 June 2010, 03:48 AM

what is sharp and unique!

STEELINOX · 30 June 2010, 04:04 AM

Just leave the strappage white; if ya want to have the stitching changed to orange or red. I'd leave it though, it goes with the "office," if ya know's what I mean !

DRAWTOOL · 30 June 2010, 04:49 AM

Marko, stack the white band and buy a black/brown strap, I would like to see that little honeydew onna Oyster bracelet too.

I thought about an Oyster too. You read my mind!

2th Dr · 30 June 2010, 04:57 AM

I ordered a burgundy alligator strap for my other Tudor... I wonder if the black strap from that one will fit this one...

DRAWTOOL · 30 June 2010, 05:01 AM

I think dark brown and SS play well together and that stap that Dan's showing would be really nice as well!

chris russell · 30 June 2010, 05:05 AM

Do you mean this is NOT for your wife? Cannot understand that, it reminds me of the white ceramic Chanel. Let your wife try it on, I guarantee you will never get it back.

The watch has a white dial, bezel and strap. It does remind me, (albeit in a general way), of the Chanel watch Sandra Bullock wore in 'The Blind Side'. There's nothing wrong with that, it could be worn by either sex. On you it would be a sort of white shoes, white belt, Summertime kind of look, on her it would be big and bold and sexy. Hey, I bought my gf an Explorer I, and she looks Seck-See wearing it...

rfknauss · 30 June 2010, 06:48 AM

Hi Mark, I voted to leave it white ..... sharp looking watch!
I don't know anything about Tudor watches, so please forgive this stupid question ...... why is the number 2 on the bezel a different color?

Richard, I think it's just the way the light is reflecting off the bezel. It is the same as the other numbers. The bezel is a smooth lacquered finish so the light reflects off it nicely!

That stuff on me after one day would look like I been swimmin' off BP's platform! I cannot wear white, I just can't.....kinda like that little feller in the comic strip, "Pig Pen".

2th Dr · 30 June 2010, 12:47 PM

Wow. This is gonna be tougher than I thought. First of all, the inner lug width is 21mm, not 20, or 22. And I need curved ends to keep the esthetics. The only rubber strap I can find with curved ends is this Hirsch, but in 20mm or 22mm only!

I read in another thread on WUS that you can squeeze a 22mm rubber strap into a 21mm lug space. What say you my friends?
