NATO strap
So I posted the other day that I bought a new Black Bay Steel; aka Tubbers. Went in today to see if more links taken out; nope. So I have the NATO strap on. My question is, where can I get more straps to fit it?

Try some 22mm leather straps. A honey color would look great on that. Otherwise looks awesome on you, congrats

Tonnes of websites online, even Amazon and eBay. Even your AD might have straps that you could buy, I know mine has Hirsch straps for sale.

How come couldn't take more links out? Just the permanent ones left? I think a good Watch shop should be able to remove permanent links, just takes a bit of work and can't be put back once you do it.

There is a kind of 'secret' removable link next to the bracelet on the fliplock side. You need to temporarily remove the fliplock, but it's only held on by springbar. This works with the 'original' BB anyway, so I assume it will with yours. This will let it fit a 5.5 inch wrist.

Thank you!! My husband has a spring bar tool thing and I'll have him try it. As it is, I have the NATO strap on the last hole possible and it's still a little loose. ps, husband trying now, but he says he can't see the springbar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you plan to keep it I would go this route. Looks good on a NATO too and should not be too had to punch an extra hole in the NATO if it is loose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Try the new Rubber B for Black Bay, (check if it works on the chrono version) would look great!
