Hi and a Tudor strap question

[Mike2795647]

Morning all,

I’ve been a member on the forum since May 2019, however haven’t ever posted.

I was lucky enough to find a black dial 36mm OP last March and have been in love with it ever since, even moving my black and then blue dial Tudor BB36’s on as they both felt a bit flat.

I’ve just taken delivery of a BB58 blue on bracelet, sadly it’s going away for 2 weeks until my birthday next month.

Anyway, wanted to say a quick hi and ask members for some guidance on straps (feel free to move this if it’s not in the right place).

I love the look of the Tudor soft touch leather and nato straps for the BB58 blue, whilst I don’t have an aversion to picking up the genuine article. I’m hoping that there are some very similar (or genuine) ones out there on the market that members could point me to. The nato would need to be the same style as Tudor with the fixed spring bars, or very similar to the blue leather one (ideally with deployant clasp).

Thanks all in advance, Mike

The closest option to oem fabric strap is the chevron from crown and buckle however no fixed spring bars, it slides through.

As far as leather any 20mm will do obviously but you wont find a deployment buckle as good as oem.

Congrats on the BB58! I was in a similar position looking for an OEM-like NATO, and I settled on Erika's MN strap based on the recommendations of others on the forum. The buckle took some getting used to but I am really happy with it! Has similar appearance to that of the OEM version with added security and comfort.

I have the BB58b on the leather and it is super comfortable. I would check with your AD on the cost of that bracelet. May only be a few hundred dollars. The clasp is worth it, IMO.

I have single pass Pertexo and Apollo straps from Lunarwatchstraps they're in the uk and have a website.
Great on my BB 41
