Monochrome for the win.

Either one is great. I just don’t like the look of dive watches on jubilee style bracelets. Just doesn’t look right to me.

Mono on the Five-Link w/ T-Fit clasp all the way!

I'm really enjoying my Mono BB41! Hopefully I will have time to stop by the AD today to pick up an OEM rubber strap to give that a try and give me options.

First, I'm surprised at the number of folks that prefer the thicker case.

I recently picked up a BB mono 3 link. Nicely machined crown and bezel, lollypop for the second hand, and T-fit. I prefer the dial that is like, but not as pronounced as the P39 and BB54.

And what I also like is the lack of gold accents. I have to say after all of the gold accent watches I've owned, I'm down to one cheap watch that has it. I tired of that feature after a while.

Good luck!

I have the Harrods special edition and this has pretty much quenched my BB thirst. I wish it came on Jubilee with the T clasp but I wouldn't swap the green insert for anything else. I don't have another matt black dial watch with gilt accents so this one takes care of it with a nice faux vintage vibe. The thickness isn't an issue for me, it sits well and wears comfortably.

In the summer and for traveling abroad it goes onto a rubber strap.

I've also bought a Steel Reef folding extension for the bracelet which works much like an Easylink. Shame about the faux rivets but they didn't put me off enough to stop me owning it.

I love it. I don't think you can go wrong whatever you do. If the green one didn't exist I'd have a red insert BB by now.

Options are always good.

Tough one. The Harrods has been with me for so long now, I feel it's a part of me. Love the shade of green (nicer than the Rolex IMO), and I've put a lot of work into the bracelet, i.e., US half link w/Steel Reef extension link, so despite the thickness, it wears beautifully. (But I do like thicker, chunkier watches.)

Having said all that, I recently got to try on the newer BB diver, albeit with the red bezel, but I've got to say Tudor really hit it out of the park with the newer slimmer proportions and the 5-link w/T-fit clasp. So...a few years ago I would've said Harrods slam dunk, but nowadays I'm not nearly as sure.

Sorry that's not more helpful.
