I would never a 20mm strap like that on a 22mm watch, it's easy for a shouldered springbar to get caught by the strap and pulled free. Same goes for your Perlon strap.

It very nearly happened to me with a 20mm leather strap on a Tudor Heritage Ranger...I was seconds from disaster.

On a curved 22mmx16mm tropic type strap. I totally prefer this taper over the NOS original tropic 22x18

Love Them But....

I'm selling and don't know if that a great idea. It has the ETA and I've been told that since they no longer make the modified ones, since Swatch has locked that ETA market down. They may one day be more desireable. Plus I don't need the $2k that much.

This strap looks good on about anything. But is killer in a BBR.

Sorry for the late response.

I picked up the BB36 just before that previous post, just a week before my AD announced that he was going out of business. So, that's been about two months ago, now.

He gave me a good deal on it even though he didn't tip his hand about the upcoming "going out of business" sale.

The watch appealed to me from the moment I first saw pictures of it during Basel and the real thing resonated even more.

It instantly became one of my favorite watches and I expect it will get more than its share of wear through out the new year.

I saw Sir Tom Jones sporting a Black Bay Black on the fabric strap on The Voice UK TV show at the weekend. Looked good on him!

I thought about selling mine also as it hasn't gotten much use since I got my 114060 but, at the end of the day, I don't need the $2k that much either so it went back in the drawer!

Love the transformation with zulu straps. My favorite is the neutral color which compliments the dial.

I saw that last night whilst watching it on Sky Plus. I had to rewind and pause just to check. My wife thinks I am so sad!

True good point though it's nice to wear the tudor as a change or you could sell it to someone who would love it but maybe can't stretch to full price.

I like Sir Tom and the BB but not enough to watch that show.

You have great taste, I think that's the best looking modern dive watch! Enjoy

I enjoy the feeling of being excited to wear my BB after going a day without it. Sounds lame, but I am excited to wear it tomorrow!
