Count me in! Got both in two days, my partner is wearing my Red while I got the Blue on. Absolutely loving it!

[stefanpantic]

Just got mine a couple of days ago. Can't wait for the bracelet to arrive

Too bad RubberB doesn't make a strap for Tudor but I like that Isofrane on yours. I'm going to be looking for a rubber strap for my Black Bay (FedEx delivery tomorrow ). Width is 22mm correct? What about strap length? Isofrane's only come in one length so no problem there but other manufacturers like Hirsch Straps ask for a strap length when you order and give the following options: 110mm/70mm, 120mm/80mm,and 120mm/100mm.

Have you considered the bonetto cinturini rubber nato model 328? They come in 22mm and fit/look great on the black bay. Watchgecko has them in black and market straps in black and green. If you need to trim the tail this can be done with a coin, x-acto knife and some sand paper to smooth out edges if need be.
Having said that BB and isofrane are super comfortable as well, I'm currently wearing one (hadn't seen one with aftermarket endlinks that could fit it though)

Thanks for the reply. I had never heard of Cinturini. It seems that they have a big selection to choose from and the pricing is very reasonable.

Another BB pic, this time taken with my wife's Cartier Tank Francaise.

The Isofrane for the Tudor is 22mm. It is incredibly flexible and comfortable, specially given the thickness. You have to feel it to believe it. No idea about the length though. To fit over a wetsuit you definitely need the extension that Isofrane also sells.

I just ordered a Bonetto Cinturini Model 315 black rubber strap for my blue beauty. I probably should also invest in a spring bar tool. Any suggestions that would make it easy for me to do it myself?

Bergeon 6767f (not 6767s) will be fine.

So get one. But check out the Cinturini's first. They have a large selection that look great and are very reasonably priced.

Yeah, it's beautiful, love the action on it as well. And thanks!

[David cote]

Just a great watch !!

On a black 3 ring zulu strap!

[SemperFi]

Very nice looking. Black or blue straps look great on this watch.

Is there a micro adjustment possible on the bracelet? I just noticed that the last link of the bracelet that is secured to the clasp is in the middle position with a hole on each side about 1/8 inch apart. Just wondering if that pin is removable to make the bracelet tighter or looser in small increments. There is nothing in the instruction booklet about the bracelet.
