Decided I needed a change with my black bay so I stopped by a local watch shop a picked up a strap they had laying around. I can't decide if I like it. What do you guys think? If anyone has a nice strap on their black bay I would love to know where you got it. Thanks!

With all due respect - I personally do not like how that looks - however what's important is that you like it!

I guess that's what I was thinking too. Just needed confirmation that I was Not feeling it. Strap search continues!!

Hmm..strap a bit too dressy for a BB, IMO.

Jake B · 25 April 2014, 10:43 AM

Not for me, but if you like it, then hey

I think that strap may be a bit too pink for the BB's red bezel. I have these 2 and I really like them, you can find them here:

I had the BB. Sold it but I still miss it.

I found it looks best on the NATO.

That sir is the NATO strap that comes with the watch and the one that fits the best IMHO.

It does look awesome, but I recall it is too short for me when I tried one on...

I thought it was a different strap..

Agree. Too much red with that strap I bought. I took it off and took the factory Nato out of the plastic and put it on for the first time and I love it!!

Alanautumn · 25 April 2014, 12:55 PM

Much better!!

I think the Tudor OEM NATO is quite nice. Much better than the regular NATO straps you can buy on eBay.

Of course the video makes it look spectacular but I have to say it's not bad at all.

I love the leather but I didn't want it to endure the summer heat down here with me sweating like crazy. I just read another thread that Tudor says not to get the straps wet so I may need a Pelagos!! :)

Dr. Robert · 25 April 2014, 01:03 PM

The stock strap looks the best, IMHO!

skprd13 · 25 April 2014, 02:29 PM

I am sure if you had an end link with the strap it would look very nice, however it just looks a little hollow. Just my opinion.

Here's the look with end links and the original leather strap.

Very nice, where did you get them?

watchbaj · 26 April 2014, 05:03 AM

I personally like it as is without end link
Looks great with the nato provided.

Cru Jones · 26 April 2014, 08:19 AM

You need a meaty strap to fill some of the extreme space of the lugs and case of the BB. Someone above mentioned Toshi and that's a decent option for a reasonable quality strap that's thick and good for the price.

IMHO, a gator most definitely does not go with the BB.
