Crafter Blue strap for Tudor Black Bay

I am interested in the Crafter Blue rubber strap for my Tudor Black bay. I have a large wrist at 8 1/4 inches and was wondering if it will fit comfortably. The site seems to have conflicting information on the measurements. Does anyone know the length of the strap and or comments on the quality of the strap?

Wow with that big of a wrist I don't think it will work. I had 4 of them and my wrist are 7 1/4 and they were okay. But they fit way to snug on my wrist like it was a handcuff.

Thanks for the reply. The site states the strap alone is 8.6 inches, but then also states fits up to a wrist of 8.6 inches or 220mm. It’s a bit confusing.

If you have the ETA black bay, the Pelagos rubber is an option as it comes with the dive extension to make the strap longer.

Don't buy the crafter blue...

It's really good rubber but the keeper is metal... and less than useless. It's really a terrible design at the end of the rubber strap you get this flacid flapping bit of strap and bugged the hell out of me on one of my beater seikos...

I also have 8.25" wrists - expanding up to 8.5 when I'm hot! So I know how it feels! Invest in something better
