Rubber strap for Tudor Pelagos FXD

Anybody have recommendations for a high quality rubber stap to fit the Pelagos FXD?

I currently use the original fabric strap with velcro, the supplied rubber strap feels kinda cheap. Would like to find a high quality rubber strap to fit.

The beauty of the BC straps are you can use them as conventional nato or RAF style [removable keeper strap] as well as the choice of polished or beaded hardware. And if it's too long they are easy to trim using a coin as a guide and some fine sandpaper to finish off.

Would the blue of the strap be a bit off for the FXD MN as the FXD MN is darker than the Pelagos shown in the photos?

I too am interested in a matching blue strap that is close to the original blue OEM rubber strap.

Not rubber but Erika’s straps look and feel great. Perfect for the fxd

Also nicely customizable.

Second for Bonetto Cinturini rubber natos. I have 4 in various colors and use them on my FXD. They are so comfortable and hold up great. They can be purchased through Watchgecko

BC does offer different colors and I know there is another blue option.

Agreed, MN also have many color way options too.

I own both of the FXD's and use the OEM Rubber strap consistently and have found it to be great. Give it a chance and see how comfortable and sturdy it is. While thin, it wears very comfortable.
