    Strap suggestions for Tudor Submariner

    I've just purchased a Tudor Submariner and while I like it on the bracelet I'm not that keen on butchering the links in order to reduce it in size for my wrist.

    I tried it on my Everest band for my BLNR but it doesn't quiet fit right, you can see where it's not flush against the case (ignore the corrosion, it's currently in for a service and having the polished out). I emailed Everest and unfortunately they don't currently make a band that fits this watch otherwise I'd go for one in black or one of their new curved ended leather straps.

    The problem I have with aftermarket straps/bands is I don't like the gap between the spring bar and the case and ideally I'd like one with curved ends like the Everest.

    Does anything exist that fits my criteria, if not I'm happy to see some other suggestions.

    ah yes, forgot to mention I don't like those end links either. Thanks for the suggestion though

    A well worn admiralty grey nato would work best in my opinion.

    Otherwise a JPM vintage style leather in dark brown (and don't worry about the gap between watch and strap - not such a helpful suggestion I appreciate)

    Other than that, I don't think any straps would work at all.

    JPM Vintage leather in lightish tan is a good shout. As they're quite a fat leather they seem to fill the gaps.

    Strap suggestions for Tudor Submariner

    This arrived this morning
    It's quite cool as the centre stripe is also lumed.

    Tweed anybody?

    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Tweed looks good.

    Thanks; I hadn't appreciated that there are other colours available now. I have one of the original MN straps (bands) and I'm not mad about them but maybe I should look again.

    The quality of the newer version is better
    The hardware is better finished and the have lass of a homemade feel
    The fabric does not have the rubber / elastic smell they sometimes have.
    I will be getting another green on for my Tudor sub
