Strap suggestions for my two-tone Tudor Oysterdate?
Greetings all.
I've been wearing, and enjoying, my Tudor mostly on Nato straps since I got it. Now I'm looking to put her on a nice leather or croc strap, but what colours would look good? Besides black of course. Anyone with any pics handy of their two-tones on coloured straps? I would be very thankful. This might even be in the wrong forum. Is a watch from the early 90's considered vintage yet? I wasn't sure, but I like the sensibilities of the folks in the vintage forum. (Sorry for my bad pic...I'm a photography zero!) |

You have all the options available for this watch. Almost nothing doesn't work. All the browns will be fine, medium to dark may be best. Navy blue and navy with a contrasting stitch would be unusual and almost as dressy as black. I suggest a strap that is at least 3mm thick at the lugs, and 4-5mm should work nicely.

Try a leather NATO. I love the look of these.

Go with a nice brown strap! It'll look fantastic!

Thanks for the suggestions.
As great as I know brown would look, I want to stay away from brown leather since I already have another two-tone watch on a brown ostrich strap. I'll probably just go with a nice black croc then. Though perhaps a dark blue, navy, would also look cool. |

I got this Rolex made black Java lizard strap from the San Francisco Rolex service ctr.
I like the smaller scales, a dressier look, IMHO.

What is the case diameter of your watch? It looks 34mm. I have a midsize in this range (32mm) and the gap between the lugs (17mm) cuts down strap options considerably. You definitely need thickness of at least 3mm at the lugs since otherwise they will be exposed.
