I’ve been investigating the strap options for mine. From an AD the Tudor strap is £136 but the separately supplied Tudor deployment is another £181 I’d like someone to explain that to me?
So maybe a strap with 3rd party buckle, although I have found a 3rd party “Tudor” deployment for £20 on fleabay. Heaven only knows what that’s made like...
Hi Tim...IMO the strap is well worth the money and I was more than willing to pay that...but that amount for the buckle NO

The truth is, the brands can get those prices so they charge them. I paid £150 or so for my Fortis butterfly and while it is nice, it is just a generic butterfly Fortis branded. However, I labour under the delusion that a watch is not complete without its branded buckle/clasp so gritted my teeth and coughed up. There, got that off my chest.
I did struggle with the fact it wasn’t a Tudor buckle,there’s a post on here about it,but like one of the inmates said we wear aftermarket straps so why not the buckle, I would prefer if the buckle looked like the original but didn’t have Tudor stamped on it

We’re already paying their enormous margin for the watches and straps/bracelets so my conscious will allow me to buy a 3rd party deployment (which I’m shortly going to do...).
