Black Bay Bronze strap size?

I looked everywhere, including a couple of reviews and the official website.

What is the strap size of the watch for aftermarket straps (lugs and buckle)? Mine has just arrived to my place but I am yet to receive it as I am away and would like to buy a couple of straps beforehand.

So I just measured it using an iPhone ruler and it seems that it's surprisingly 20mm, even though the case is 43mm. Isn't the burgundy and others 22mm? The lugs don't seem to be wider and in photos the strap of the bronze looks thicker. Or is that the tapering effect on the bronze?

Yeah, 23, if it is 23, is disappointing. On the upside, the BB bronze has the nicest leather and fabric straps in the range, IMO. I wouldn't go aftermarket.

Are you sure, doesn't really look that big. Will measure it soon and post a photo.

I actually preferred the deployment buckle on the burgundy. It looks okay but the other strap wore more comfortably.

That would be super hot! I doubt the bracelet would be bronze though.

I am not a Tudor fan mainly I don't like the hands, but was at the AD yesterday and they had the bronze and it looked really good. It came with two straps, leather and the cloth.

I always wondered do any Tudor straps fit a 116610? 99% of the time it will be on the bracelet but would not mind a strap. I think it would be cool to use a Tudor strap instead of complete aftermarket.

OEM straps are too short for me...

Having been through the 23mm BS with other watches, I'm 100% out on this piece.

Although, you could fit the right 22 in there and I’m sure you’d be good

I have a Black Bay S&G, I use a 22mm strap and it fits fine, I doubt the lugs on the bronze are different sizes.

I have also used 24mm straps just fine.

23 is not hard to find at all. the watch is beautiful and deserves a nice strap, the OEM ones are too short.

I had SNPR straps https://snprstrap.com/shop/ make me a few, they are excellent quality and worth the price and wait.

I especially like this one made from boars hide

Rubber B and Everest emailed a No reply for a 23 mm. Anyone try on a strap from one of those two manufacturers on a BB Bronze ? Hate to shell out $250 for a strap that doesn’t fit exact.
