Has The Strap Monster Finally Met It's Match??

One of the intrinsic benefits of Tudor's 5 digit charm is they look great strapped with anything. And y'all know I take full advantage swapping out the rivet for a BC rubber nato or a matching MN from Erika, depending on the scenario. Not to mention the Uncle Seiko jubilee [seen below for comparison] which provides more options at a decent price.

However, thanks to Dave O, who generously confirmed the availability of an OEM Tudor Five-Link w/ T-Fit Clasp that fits the BB chronographs & BB GMT [https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=951319], I had to order one.

One month and one day later it arrived and it's a game changer. It was installed & sized in short order. Interesting note: the Tudor jubilee, or Five-Link as Tudor calls it, uses slightly thinner spring bars compared to the oyster, just like Rolex. The end link fit is perfect, with no movement whatsoever. The T-Fit clasp is in a word, ingenious. It's compact, low profile, and super easy to adjust w/ lots of room. The overall fit & comfort of this bracelet is simply amazing.

Can a favorite watch get any favoriter? You just can't beat the classic Pepsi GMT on jubilee. This bracelet has really elevated this combo and while I'll still find occasions to swap out alternatives from time to time, more likely than not it will be the Tudor Five-Link. Thanks again, Dave O!

I still like the rivet but the T-Fit Clasp on this next level.

Great looking. I have one on my Pink Chrono. I went in the other day to my AD and tried to get the five link bracelet from the Tudor 41 Black Bay to work on my GMT and it would not. I thought in the other thread they said it would work. Do you have any knowledge on this. Obviously the answer is to get the right one but they have order them but they have not arrived. Does anyone have any information?

Thanks!

There are a number of Tudor Five-Link bracelets of varying lug widths as well as flat & oval link shape. Thanks to Dave O and now I too can confirm as well that at least this bracelet will work on a BB GMT: B20-65580-22-E1.

Maybe you can confirm if the oval link on your pink chronograph would work? I thought I read someone tried it and it worked on the BB GMT.

This is a game changer for the BB GMT line. Looks so good. And you can rely on Dan for the best Tudor shots on the forum as ever. Well played!

Looks great. Enjoy. I just got the Coke 58 and 3 years from now or whatever when there are 3 different color combos I’m hoping they’ll add the jub there too
