Tudor OEM rubber question

I have a BB54 and want to order the OEM rubber.
There are 3 sizes: short, regular and long.

Anyone have the “Long version” and can tell me how long the 6 o’clock side strap is?

It is all the same rubber strap. There are 3 designated places where you can cut the strap to shorten it (similar to cutting straps like you would for other fitted rubber straps like Rolex Oysterflex or Breitling rubber straps). The three lengths are short, regular, and long. The fine adjustments are taken care of by the T-fit clasp. I don't know the exact sizing, but the upshot is that if you err on the side of caution, you can always cut away another portion if it's too long. I believe the maximum wrist size would be 19.5 cm (I could be wrong though). I don't think Tudor has advertised the length of each side, and maybe someone with the actual strap can chime in, but I figured I'd offer up my answer in case you don't get any other responses, and hopefully it helps at least a little.

Not sure why, but with the Tudor rubbers, there's only one strap that you can cut to adjust the size and that is the one on the 12 o'clock side.

The 6 o'clock strap is a fixed length so you have to order a short or long version to adjust the length.

Unfortunately, the AD has no idea of the lengths.
Messaged Tudor on IG since there's no email contact but still awaiting a reply, and at £160, I'd like to confirm the length before placing an order.

Can I assume the stock BB54 comes with the "regular" length? Perhaps you can try one on in a showroom and go from there?

You'll also need end links because, from what I've read, they're actually different from the bracelet version.

And, not that anyone asked my opinion, but I personally think that type of watch looks better on the rubber/leather hybrid from the Ranger.

I own the BB54 on rubber and was oblivious it came on different size lengths.

I don't like how long the 6 o'clock side is on the rubber, and it affects how the watch sits on my wrist. I like to shorten my Oyster bracelets to 4 links for this very reason.

For reference on mine, the 6 side of the rubber (lug to clasp) is 48mm. I have a 7.5 inch wrist.
