Thanks! Since I don't have a SubC ND, Black Bay having no date window is a good addition to my collection. Really enjoy the symmetrical dial.. !

Thanks! Put the rubber strap on at the moment as I am not sure about the durability of the PVD coating.. (can't really avoid scratches on the clasp / bracelet I think) We will see!

I never really took a look at this Tudor but I like it. How’s the comfortability on the rubber strap?

Very comfortable. The ISOfrane is very thick but soft. Good quality strap. I usually like my divers with rubber straps as you can make small adjustment. Make it tight enough to not flopping around but still comfortable.

When I wear watches with bracelets, I usually wear them slightly loose.

I don't have this particular Tudor but I regularly wear my FF on an identical ISOfrane strap and I can attest to the comfort and durability of it, it's Italian made and very high quality. The two rubber keepers are so snug at first that it's a real chore to put the strap through them - so much so that they were nearly a deal breaker, but after a few weeks they break in enough that it becomes usable. Putting the watch on is still not a smooth process because of them, one thing's for sure though, the keepers aren't about to shift position while you wear it.

I looked at one at my AD a few weeks ago. I'm getting very close to pulling the trigger.

Agree on the experience posted here. ISOfrane is expensive (in my opinion) for a rubber strap at $100-110 or so (forgot), but is very good quality. I also have some Borealis straps that look almost identical, but at about 1/4 the price. Probably 85%-90% as good. So I put those on my cheaper divers (Seiko SKX, Turtle, etc.)

But for those who don't want to spend the Rubber B level of $$$, I can definitely recommend the ISOfrane.

What it looks like with the rubber strap and the black buckle. Different shade of black but close enough!
