Bumblebee on Survivor Hornback = Bad to the bone

Finally got around to putting the Survivor hornback strap on my BB. It's rather stiff at the moment but should get more pliable over time. It's a great strap... AP Hornbacks are very well constructed. The strap gives the watch a very different vibe. Whereas the rubber strap imbued a sportiness to the BB, this strap is just sinister looking IMO. I like it!

You're really a strap guy Mike you can get a watch easily with the amounts you spend on the different straps. This one is nice but for me the yellow stitching is it with the BB
