Tudor Heritage chrono. Strap.

Advice, help, suggestions.. photos..

I am wanting to change from the original Tudor bracelet to a leather strap for a change. But I'm not sure in what I want. ( I cant seem to find the right look) The strap I want has to be of a good quality to complement the watch. The look of a manufacturer fitted strap. Then again I'm open to suggestions for a custom look as well.

The watch has a Black dial with Grey sub dials, and the seconds hand is Orange. That' the only colour

I am open to suggestions. If you have any photos please.

Just out of curiosity, have you used the supplied fabric strap?

If so, what tool did you use to remove the spring bars?

I'm having difficulty changing it.

There's a chap called Giuliano, who lives in Italy and makes really good straps. He does a lot of Heuer ones, some examples here:

He can make you any kind of rally strap in a variety of different colours, with contrasting stitching if you like. I have a few of his straps and they really are very good.

I have removed the bracelet, but no I haven't used the fabric strap. I simply use masking tape on the shoulders to avoid scratching. Then with a Burgeon Screw driver ease one side then the other. This should release the spring bar.

These look very nice. I may try one for my Autavia.

I tried with a Bergeon 6767F but haven't had any luck.
I guess I'm bothered about damaging it.

I'm bothered too. I can't do with changing tool marks.

It's the red colour coded screwdriver.

That Autavia is a lovely example. I do like the black!

I use the Bergeon 6767F on my Tudor HC many times and have had no problems. It does seem quite a deep spring bar recess, so you have to be a little more persuasive with it.

If you are planning to put it on the/a Nato, I personally wouldn't bother. The case space between the lugs looks quite messy/unfinished and diminishes the look IMHO.

All sorted; perseverance paid off!
