Isofrane straps are now available in the UK and I am thinking of investing in one for my Black Bay.
They're not cheap for a rubber strap so I want to make sure they are compatible with the Black Bay. Anyone have one fitted to the BB ? The specs say the strap is quite thick, does this fill some of the gap between the watch case and the strap as BB's seem to have a big gap when fitted on a strap

I'm not sure about the BB, but the Pelagos still has a big gap between the case and the strap and I think case shapes are similar-ish. I was tempted as they look great from some angles, but decided I'd stick with NATOs.

I've been wearing mine on a leather nato, just fancied the Isofrane for a change :

I'd stick with a NATO, they seem to really work with these new Tudors. Here's my Pelagos:

Having tried unsuccessfully to get my Pelagos to fit correctly on both the rubber and the bracelet, I've given up and it now lives on NATOs permanently!

I tried the Isofrane on my BB Red. It works fine at the lugs because it is really thick and it is also very soft and comfortable. However, For me the look doesn't work. The strap and buckle look too wide for the watch face and the plain black strap doesn't set off the rich colours of the dial, although if you have the BB Blue this is less of an issue. I love the Isofrane on other watches but not the BB. I think it looks good on the Pelagos.
