    Strap for Tudor Fastrider Black Shield

    Got one of these this week and whilst I really like the deployment, the direction of the stap (i.e. pointed end to 6) isn't to my liking (yet). So looking at alternate options

    I'm open to rubber and leather. I've actually bought what I think is a pretty decent quality leather strap from Amazon. However, the stitching is cream/ivory and although looks OK would be better in white. I've emailed the seller to see if they do one with white stitching.

    I'm not a fan of fabric/nato style - so any other ideas? Don't want to pay more than £100 to be honest.

    On original deployment



    Amazon strap

    Oh and needs to be a black buckle, preferably Pre-V

    From time to time I do wear the Tudor deployant the “wrong” way round - have you tried it that way?

    I haven't yet - how does it feel/look that way?

    Although to be honest, after having on a 24mm strap for a few days, picking up the deployment strap it feels very tiny (I'm used to 24mm on my PAM). I do really like the deployment fit though

    Have been looking on watchobsession and some nice straps on there.

    I actually find it more comfortable worn the way Tudor don’t want you to lol.

    Di Modell Chronissimo...link?


    The 24 mm tapers to a 20 mm so you might like to find a black PVD buckle if you don't have one already.



    Edit Or, perhaps, their Pilot.

    I like my Tudor Grantour on the ZuluDiver Kevlar type...



    Would imagine the fastrider would look good on one too - maybe with white stitching. ?

    If you prefer leather - what about the perforated Tudor strap...

    Really like the look of those, but can't find them with black buckles otherwise that would be a good choice.

    Will look at the Tudor perforated though, thanks

    I've initially gone for one from watchobsession. Comes up under Panerai but was exactly what I was after. Pretty similar to the standard deployment strap. Just waiting for the 22mm buckle to come that I've ordered.



    Have ended up buying one in brown for my PAM312 as well



    Some great straps on that ukwatchstrap site linked above. Thanks for the assistance

    Pointed end to 6 must feel really bizarre!

    Yes something I couldn’t get used to. At least this way it keeps the original strap relatively new as well if I ever sell it.
