    Strapcode BB58 J Louis.

    If you have a Black Bay 58, and found like me the bracelet was either too snug or too loose (hats off to James at Prestons for his patience!), then the Angus J Louis might suit.

    While waiting nearly 4 months for my 58, I spotted the Strapcode choices, opted for the cheaper $130, (6 holes of adjust on clasp).
    I ordered a Turtle from Gnomon and x2 Jubilee from Strapcode at the same time, only paid duty on the Gnomon parcel..

    I removed x3 links with my trusty Wera set, with some 222 loctite to finish, perfect fit. The clasp is fairly chunky at 8mm but not noticeable on the wrist, the jubilee is of course not Tudor quality but a good fit and super comfy.

    All personal preference, but I do not like the look of polished jubilee on a sports watch like this.

    I'd much rather spend the £70 and have an additional micro-adjustment hole added and get the perfect fit.

    Just curious, what strap is that in the first picture of your 4th post? Looks great.

    The black perlon? I was going to say similar. Looks great.

    Agree. I think it looks awful in fact. Sorry.

    An oyster version might work better?

    Sorry, not for me - that bracelet just does not work on the 58, especially given the Tudor bracelet looks so good on the watch.

    My turtle says hi

    The jubilee is a game changer, the fit is supersmooth on the wrist and gives the watch an even slimmer feel.

    The polished center links go really well with the polished accents on the watch like the bezel and the sides
