Looking good on that bracelet. Do you find the protruding end links ok, as it’s a wide watch already? I generally prefer that look to the pivoted end links on the standard Tudor bracelet but this gets away with it as the size is quite big.....
Hi Steve! I find the end links perfect FOR ME. That's why I put my wrist size down. (7" positioned above the wrist bones as pictured) I'm thinking of hunting down something like the multi-adjustable Pelagos clasp. THAT would be cool!
I may well try to find one. I think it would help with the aesthetic of the case as it can look a bit blocky without the protruding end links.
If my memory serves me correctly, someone on the Rolex forum did manage to use the Pelagos clasp and it worked very well (the only downside being that the titanium was quite grey in comparison to the steel).
If you purchase a leather strap version, as I did, You can avoid the ludicrous "bicycle chain end link" look and purchase a Strapcode bracelet for a fraction of the cost difference ($102 USD). Then you will have the leather and a nicer bracelet, very close to the original Black Bay design. The curious thing is...the Tudor web site brags about following design philosophy "form follows function", but the "fake rivet" look by definition does not follow that mindset. Pics 1, Hirsch curved end tan, 2,3,4 Strapcode brushed stainless with solid ends, micro adjustment holes, screws for 8 link attachments, I've removed 4. My wrist measures 7 inches circumference.
I have had mine since July and I have worn it daily and the date changes correctly. So far anyway...
Well, my luck ran out. One morning last week I noticed the date stuck between two numbers. I manually corrected it and hoped it was a one time fluke. Since then it advances two dates every night...So back it must go. 🤔
I’m bummed because I have worn it to work pretty much every day since July. It has never once wound down and is within 30 seconds after six months. Now my Speedmasters and vintage pieces will have to get more wrist time. Or I need to buy something to tide me over...
I was offered one on a nato by my AD before Christmas, but I said I would rather wait for my preference of one on a bracelet.
Very happy to say that I got the call this morning to say it is in and waiting for collection!! (Based in the UK).
Not at all...Paid the retail price in the UK, which is GBP2790.00.
WIth strap instead of bracelet the retail is GBP2570.00
