GMT on Vanguard Rubber!
Evening All!

Just sharing a pic of my Tudor GMT on a Vanguard strap. I like it, and in fact prefer to the standard riveted bracelet

Great value too at £109 delivered from UAE

I like the watch, I like the strap, but I'm not a fan of them together.

It’s something different and unique, I think it’s a cool combo! Nothing wrong with setting yourself apart from the pack sometimes

How "soft" is that strap? Was looking at one of these for a BB58. Like will it lay flat on a table or does the strap shoot off the watch at 90 degrees to the case? I tried a crafter blue on a watch and returned it because it was so stiff it pinched my arm like a clamp. Mind sharing a few more pics?

I have the black version on my BB58. It is very soft and comfortable but the integrated block to ensure a good fit at the lugs, means that the strap comes down at an angle and doesn't lay flat. The strap certainly doesn't pinch or rub and I am very happy with mine.
