(Potentially) controversial opinion: Black Bay 54 bracelet

[Poodlopogus]

No, not another "rivets vs. no rivets" debate here! Rather, a discussion of end links.

I'm starting to think that the overall look would have been better if Tudor had used the bracelet w/o end links, and just a straight bar, sometimes pictured on the Tudor 7923.

In some ways, I think Tudor did too good a job of replicating the somewhat poor fit of the original 7922 end links (they never line up quite right in pics of vintage ones).

Hadn't given the end links too much thought before, but after seeing some of the Omega SMP 300s and Mido Ocean Star Tributes on mesh bracelets, w/o fitted end links, I found myself digging the look.
