I love the smell of velcro in the morning…...

I mean sound of velcro.

Having owned a custom GasGasBones nylon velcro strap I was already familiar with the infinite sizing adjustment capabilities, toughness, and comfort but wanted to try the 2 pc B&R w/ matching stripe on my THC.




Due to the 2 pc design there's no extra layer of nylon under the watch, making it wear closer to the wrist, with the flat case back of the THC making this combo feel even more snug. These come in 3 lengths, mine being the medium.




The solid stainless steel clasp is flat making it unobtrusive but hefty enough to add balance to the watch.



The nylon is on the thin side which gives it ample pliability and makes for an extremely comfortable wearing experience. There is a bit of fiddling when feeding the strap thru the clasp w/ one hand but it gets easier with practice.




George's custom end links and the matching orange stripe make this a great combo. Waterproof, comfortable, easily adjustable, and virtually indestructible.



Rockin' Ron @ B&R is great to work with and provides fast service. So if your in a velcro mood check out his lineup, many sizes and colors to choose from.

Smell of velcro...I figured it was some Vietnam type reference.

Looks real good. That band looks custom made for the Tudor.

Works well with the watch. That Velcro smell in the morning ,a little baking soda will help that.
