  • Entirely contrary to what I've previously said but I fancy trying a rubber strap with matching curved end with my Black Bay. Ideally I'd want one that works with the deployment clasp but the only one I can find that does that is the rather expensive RubberB one, any other options I'm missing.

    Most of them don't seem that easy to get in the UK other than the Crafter Blue one (which has ugly buckle/keeper). Any suggestions on which others to look at?

  • rather expensive RubberB one

    I tried a few on my Black Bay and the RubberB is hands down the best. Doesn't come with a buckle though...you have to fit your own. The Tudor deployant fits it. I know it is expensive and maybe its not worth quite as much as they charge but I still think its worth it if you want the best quality and fitting strap for your Tudor.

  • In asnwer to your actual question, Vanguard straps are supposed to be good Tudor compatible fitted straps. Alsal stock them. Have never tried one out though.

    About £100 each.

  • I got one from aliexpress. It’s really good quality but was branded rubber b when it arrived so it’s actually a fake (this wasn’t mentioned in the ad)

  • I’ve got the Vanguard strap mentioned by @Stonehedge on my BBB (see previous page and below quick shots so you can the side and buckle). Most comfy of my rubber straps and does take a Tudor deployment clasp. Only downside is that the strap is sized for buckle use so the tang(?) end of the strap is a bit longer than on the OEM strap designed for deployment use only. Means that the deployment clasp / strap can sit slightly uncomfortably depending on your wrist shape. I found the clasp was more comfy if you wore the strap the wrong way round (Ie tail end pointing out) but then the watch sat a bit funny, so in the end I put the Tang back on and it’s been great. Much cheaper than a Rubber B, which is the only other game in town if you want a rubber strap that takes the oem deployment clasp.

  • As someone in this thread kindly pointed out to me a while back, it's deployant instead of deployment clasp.

  • Have a look at Scurfa, he also have a Tudor which look great with his strap.

    Very impressed with his strap too, slim, comfortable and look great on the lug.
