    Hi All , loved the BB steel from when I first saw pictures of it at Basel 17 , & was lucky enough to get one of the first ones in the UK. However the only small issue for me was the lack of micro adjustment on the bracelet , one link out too loose, put the link back in and lack of micro adjustment, too tight. Aaaagh I thought ,but I really want to wear this watch and have it comfortable as a daily wearer . So what the options available , not keen on the Nato strap that comes with it great quality and all ,but its a big watch & personally not keen on the look . So Nato is a no go for me so I thought what else is out there , well there's always Rubber I thought , So I start looking around at what's on offer and the initially thought the new Rubber B for the BB would be it . But then looking at the Pelagos , I like the look of the rubber on end links ,mmmm now there's a thought . So off to the local AD & order a Pelagos Rubber , easy enough & £140.00 pounds to you sir . Had to wait a couple of days for it to come in, & working away I couldn't get to the AD until this morning . Off the AD & asked about fitting of the Rubber onto the BB steel & watchmaker said he wasn't told it was for a BB steel & wasn't sure if he should fit it , So after some discussion/persuasion he got what I was after & said leave it with me for a couple of hours , so left it with him. Couple of hours later called into the AD & couldn't wait to see he watch , exactly hw I pictured it in my head & with clasp deployment similar to the Omega style . It fits perfectly now & so glad I went with this choice as it just lifts the watch in my opinion. a1.jpg b1.jpg c1.jpg d1.jpg e1.jpg g1.jpg h1.jpg

    Not bad, but I prefer the regular Black Bay no date

    Very nice watch and the rubber strap sets it off just right.

    Looks really nice, I wish they had made this with a 12 hour bezel...Having the GMT function would of be killer.

    Looks fab !

    I have the new Tudor 79350 Chrono with the rivet bracelet

    Think I might try a rubber strap on that

    Looks good - I did this a while back on the BBB and the strap is still holding up nicely. I was worried it would break easily because the join as the endlink isn't great but so far so good!

    I am wondering if this arrangement would fit my Tudor North Flag?

    Hi , I think the Pelagos Rubber will fit directly onto the NF . I have seen some pictures of it on another forum & it looked pretty good .
