Tudor GMT Strap Thread

Post pics of your Tudor GMT on your favorite strap!

This one seems to look great on so many different strap options please share yours here. Mine came on the bracelet and can't wait to switch things up.

Thanks! I kind of miss that look but this setup does much better in the cockpit. Fewer snags and super comfortable.

Bought on leather, purchased a bracelet and have tried on various NATO’s. Looks good on everything.

How do you guys change straps so effortlessly when the case doesn’t have lug holes?

Just a Bergeron tool. Takes a bit of practice and you do get the occasional scrape on the bottom side of the lug if not careful but becomes easy. Leather and NATO’s far easier than the bracelet.

Somebody stick the distressed strap from an original BB red or blue on that thing. I want to see what it looks like.

Here it is on a Rubber B. The fit between the lugs is perfect.

I think this watch is perfect with distressed leather. But that blue leather above... absolutely nailed it!

The distressed blue leather strap from the ETA BBB would look phenomenal on this watch.

I get your point but not sure £490 for the brown leather strap and clasp is fair value

I considered that option but good quality (arguably better) straps cost less than 10% of that price so I have decided to go after market straps at a much lower cost

I get your point about the price of the leather strap, but it does have a rather nice déployant clasp. I thought I might buy the GMT on leather, and the BB Chrono on steel bracelet, and then be able to swap them around.

Does anyone know if the BB 58 is the same width of strap (gap between lugs] as the GMT/41?

I don’t think so. The 58 is 20mm I believe and the gmt 22.

For sure the chrono bracelet would work I’d expect though.
