Reply With QuoteAh, interesting, I'd read this http://watchesbysjx.com/2016/04/expl...black-bay.html and thought they might be screws, would be interested to know exactly what they are.
I didn't realise there are new options for the Black Bay but looking at this review on ablogtowatch, there certainly seems to be a Rivet bracelet option now as well as at least one other new (red) band. The Rivet option looks to be pins rather than screws which is a little disappointing, but if you're going to create a watch that has a look reminiscent of its vintage cousin, you may as well go the whole way with the bracelet.

looks great
I do like the pattern on the NATO, although I'm not a big fan of the strap type, bracelet looks good, quite retro and a bit more purposeful I feel.
Screw heads are visible in the second photo. I recall at Baselworld it was reported that the rivet look is only cosmetic, the links are solid.

So can this strap be bought on it's own? If so where? i have searched but failed and I so want one.
Looks like it is only the removable links that have screws.Originally Posted by Nagraboy
Yeah, same as a normal Rolex bracelet I suppose.
Looks very good imho - as you guys have stated above, it is the same as rolex.
Their OEM Nato style straps are super comfortable so I'm a big fan of the new design. Think it subtly lifts an otherwise dull strap.
I think they should make the steel hardware removable though, so when the strap wears out, just the fabric part could be replaced.
Any news of a more blue NATO then like the red?
At least the old ones could be bought at AD for apron £160

I've heard these should be in the shops in a few weeks. It's a "new" black bay with in house tudor movement which is cosc. The biggest plus for me is 70 hour power reserve, on the old black bay the reserve was only something like 36 hours.
These look great! Personally I prefer the bracelet of the previous version with the ETA movement.
I really like the look of these, the straight writing on the dial seems to work better than the previous circular/rounded text..
Tempted to pick one of these up, just seems like good value.
Anyone know when they will be in AD's to try on?
Just been looking on the Tudor site and have images of the new blue strap too.

I'm a little bit 'meh' at the dial compared to the ETA version, I prefer the Tudor rose logo & curved text at the bottom. But I LOVE that NATO!
Glad they finally got the chronometer certificate.

What's the RRP on these (old version is £2350 on bracelet)?
I think it looks it's best on the stressed leather strap, just compliments the dial perfectly but each to their own.
Will the the price depreciate on the previous Automatic movement now it has changed to a mechanical one? thoughts on this please.
Not sure I understand ? The onlyl difference is the use of the inhouse Tudor movement over the ETA one. They are both still mechnical automatics ?
Sorry meant to say "in house" not mechanical.
So will the ETA pieces depreciate now Tudor are using their own movement.
