Tudor Black Bay Bronze Slate Dial - Which strap shall I order?

[bmwrover]

I am planning on buying a Tudor Black Bay Bronze, but the new slate dial version does no longer come with both strap options, but one has to decide if black leather or the Tudor Nato strap.
What would you recommend?

Cheers for your help.

I’ve had the original brown one for several years now, and you could count the amount of time it’s been on the leather strap on one hand. That being said, I look the look of the black leather more than the original. Mine however, pretty much lives on the Erikas Original MN strap.

I also have the brown original, and the fabric strap didn't fill the lugs from the get go. I wear it on a 24mm black Zuludiver NATO with bronze hardware. IMHO suits the watch perfectly.
I briefly owned the black version on leather, which was a very nice strap. So deffo go for the leather, but swop out for the Zuludiver nato.

Thanks, sounds like we are are having a plan, black leather will it be and a 24 mm Zuludiver 3 ring in bronze search is on.

Great choice and a gratuitous pic from the vaults.

I wasnt able to find a 3 ring bronze Zuludiver on the internet, thus I wrote an email to watchgecko.
They kindly replied that they currently have no stock of bronze hardware and they dont know if and when they will get new ones.

So I ordered a 23mm Erika MN Black Ops with a sand coloured stripe and bronze hardware instead.

If you’re in the market for a rubber strap check out the Vanguard strap site. As soon as my BB58 comes in it’ll be going on one of these and the reviews seem to speak for themselves.

Thanks Walts, they do look nice on the BB. The Bronze BB is larger than the 41 mm, hence they dont have a strap for the BBB yet.

I received my Erika M+N strap today.

As beforementioned, I ordered the 23mm Erika MN Black Ops with a sand coloured stripe and bronze hardware.

I must say the picture on Erika`s website does not do it justice. The black is much more anthracite or one could even describe it as extreme dark oliv green, rather than black.

That will look great on the Tudor BBB, I am sure.

This one is with bronze hardware too. CNS Paratrooper
I use this on my Oris Pointer Date Bronze.

Thanks jpstorm for the link. They have a Sale going on at the moment and quite a few straps in stock, so I ordered a few for other watches. In the meantime I fitted the MN by Erika to the BBB

That looks great! My original brown dialled version lives on the Erikas strap, which has the added bonus of being made from genuine parachute elastic, which is much softer than others I have.

Looks really beautiful. And a great photo as well.
