Thanks Angelo. I'll be getting on for my BBN for sure. Only question is pure black or black and tan. Thoughts?

I was thinking black and tan also to match the gilt dial. The color looks almost white in the photos though so it's hard to say if it matches.

Nice.

Also as a side note. The OEM Tudor Pelagos rubber strap fits both the Black Bay and Heritage Chrono if you use their respective endlinks.

I would just get the oem rubber from Tudor and put it on like stated above. These rubberB straps (if you do a quick search on TRF) are not a good fit on the Rolex, I'm betting money these have the same issue. You have Rolex/Tudor don't put something that is not comparable quality. That's buying rims for your Ferrari tisk tisk

I'd have to disagree with you there. I have a RubberB on my Explorer and the fit is just perfect.

you obviously have never owned a rubberB I have one on my expII the fit is nothing short of perfect and wears extremely comfortable and would not hesitate to buy one for the Tudor BB line up.

What you are saying makes no sense. I have owned several Rubber B straps for Daytona, Sub and Deepsea (my personal fave). Tang buckle version for Sub C & DSSD and the Daytona fitted for the deployment clasp. I can tell you that every single one of my RB's were all totally different models and all clicked right on its watch, looking super sharp / flawless. I saw another guy put up his Instagram posts with the everest strap on the left image that I pasted below. Thats a daytona of course and the strap fitment looks nothing like my RB looked. With regards to the Rb, I like the deployment version less that the tang version, because it tapers thin to the clasp. On steel that works, but on rubber it looks a bit feminine in my opinion.

While I'm here , I will say that my wrist size is a good 7.5 inches and the tang buckle series rubber b on my DSSD is just great, with the return flap being held down nicely under the two loops. But if you have over 8 inches wrist, I would go with the clasp or velcro options instead. Those come in XL or bigger.

my Sub on Rubber B is on the right side. Everest bands is on the left.....

FYI, received a reply from RubberB that the straps do not fit the Pelagos.

I've purchased dual colored straps for my Sub-C and my Daytona. I have nothing but positive things to say about them. I love the bands and they're fairly unique.

I saw on Reddit yesterday speculation about Everest working on one for Tudors that will come with a clasp (or buckle).

It looks good, but it feels a bit too "clean" for me. I think the vintage style clashes a bit with that deep, smooth black. That said, I'm a very big fan of the distressed leather straps, which is quite a different look.
