It's got a nice weight to it but not over the top. I have a hard time not staring at it all day. It's also very dressy on the bracelet and just a great, do everything, watch. I currently have mine on a solid black rubber strap but thinking of adding an Isofrane as well.

Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but does anyone know if the Bonetto rubber nato will fit on a rolex or is it too thick?

Glad you got your BC strap. Definitely try it on isofrane, most comfortable strap combo, besides nato of course |

I love the bb on a nato. I think it really suits it. Or rubber. Or brown thick leather. Anything really lol.

Yeah for the BB is fine, but he asked whether the 22mm rubber nato would fit on mostly 20mm lug width rolex... BB is super versatile pretty much any strap you throw at it works, |

I am not an owner but very envious. I tried on the blue BB when I was looking for a new purchase and was surprised that I was a little underwhelmed (sorry). Last week I tried the red / burgundy on. WOW!!! Really sung to me. I think I liked the red on leather because it seemed to wear smaller then the blue but I know they are identical in size. Am I crazy? Anyone else feel the same?

Enjoy your beautiful pair. By the look of your collection you seem to love a little colour. What gets most wear? Hulk? |

You're welcome and yup, Hulk gets more wrist time than others but I rotate them all.

What strap option do you prefer?
I have the Black bay on Steel Bracelet but am thinking about a change to Leather at some point. I already have the OEM Leather Strap and Clasp ready to go. |

I like it on nato! Most comfortable and customisable.

Forgive me ignorance.
Looking to get a black bay soon and looking to buy some NATO straps. Will I be buying a 22mm NATO width? Also any recommendations for places to buy from? I found a good place online and for 9 straps it will be less then $100. It seems pretty cheap to me. Thank you |

Yes the black bay has 22mm lugs. I have mine on a black Zulu strap now. Looks great with it!

Red on a new leather strap with new end links from George. Looks more finished IMO.

Anywhere in the UK I can get the OEM bracelet end links from?
ADs I can't order them because tudor/rolex won't sell any parts without fitting the parts themselves. |

The end links aren't OEM, custom made by George Yao here at TRF. The strap I have isn't OEM, but they are available both here in the for sale section and potentially from AD.

Thanks for the reply. But I wasn't actually talking about those end links recently posted.
I am actually after OEM end links. I wasn't successful with either ADs or Rolex at St James' in London. Any one? |

I like how it looks and the strap gets more comfortable each day. Takes a minute to put on though due to the two rubber retainers...rubber rubbing against rubber requires a little maneuvering.
