I think you are referring to my picture of the Blackbay on Isofrane (that was quoted by SemperFi):


I used a set of these endlinks.

Fit and finish is top notch, and work equally well with most leather straps.

Has anyone found with 1-piece leather natos that they like? I love the idea of having multiple color leather straps to swap out each day (depending on outfit) that won't require spring bar removal. Any success stories?

I thought Natos always had two pieces. I've got a leather Nato incoming,

Nah I'm referring to a pull-through 1 piece, much like the canvas strap that comes with the BB (though the OEM canvas strap has holes for the spring bar so it's not floating.) See pic/link below for an example. Just wondering if other people have experience.

Something like below is what I'm referring to. 1-piece pull through that looks like the OEM fabric, though can float in the spring bars.

I'm thinking of something like that OEM fabric strap. Only in leather, and not attached directly to the spring bars.

Jankoxxx is my guy, I have three of those one-piece/zulu shell cordovan straps and I really like them. Much cheaper than Da Luca or Hodinkee and fully customizable.

That is a great point! I may be wearing mine for a long time now!

About 2K more, my BBR was second hand no box no papers, so it would have taken some time to sell; and the Black now is selling sooooo well that AD are not giving any discount ( at least in NY) but happy with the trade. The price of flipping....

You got a great deal, the salesman at Tourneau NYC, told me no discounts for BBB at least until January.

I saw this one in person last week, I must admit, I've been critical in the past about the fake vintage look, but this watch with the black bezel is beautiful! Everything about it looks right... I'm seriously thinking about picking one up!

Saw a watch article in a magazine over here yesterday, that said this has been the biggest success in the watch world, in the past five years. I reckon there are plenty on here who would agree.
