Bracelet and strap options for Tudor 79170 "Big Block"?

I just pulled the trigger on a Tudor 79170. It comes on a Tudor oyster bracelet with 589 end links.

My question is: What other options are there for bracelets and straps?

- Will the leather straps and end links from a 792XX fit on the Big Block case?
- End links other than 589?
- Jubilee?

Thanks,
Arron

Congrats, Aaron! Can't wait to see the pics.
Not sure if the 792XX straps w/ integrated end links will fit because they use separate lug holes not found on the 791XX references. The Tudor jubilee style bracelet should fit but never tried a Rolex jubilee. The problem would be the end links that need to fit te large Big Block case.
The only strap option I've tried is a leather nato.
