Re: OMEGA OR TUDOR
The nice thing about the Tudor is that it's very versatile. Looks great on a bracelet (as Glenn shows), or on leather or on a NATO (and not just the one it comes with):
and the lume is blooming good too, even in low light rather than just the dark:

That does look good on all straps, I walk past a red bezel everyday on the high street and have resisted thus far but I'm weakening looking at that.

Re: OMEGA OR TUDOR
Congratulations on the purchase. It is always good to see a well thought out decision.

Those straps look fantastic! Thanks for that!
I'm rubbish at changing bracelets. The spring bars fly across the room. i might have to think about a pair of spring bar tweezers....brown leather looks brilliant!

Re: OMEGA OR TUDOR
Have to agree, the BB looks good on most straps, and the BBN is particularly versatile.
I rather like my red BB on this brown strap:

Re: OMEGA OR TUDOR
Nice. What strap's that, Richard? Did you manage to get a Tudor buckle?

Re: OMEGA OR TUDOR
I had a Tudor strap & clasp with the watch, but I sold it - mainly because (to my way of thinking) the strap/clasp fitted "back to front" - meaning the tail of the strap is directed to the inside of the wrist, and turning the strap means the clasp sits incorrectly on the wrist. Anyway, the strap in the picture above is a Hirsch Heritage. https://www.watchobsession.co.uk/produc ... 1303715324ProfGlenn wrote:Nice. What strap's that, Richard?

Re: OMEGA OR TUDOR
Practice makes perfect - I'm pretty okay with my Bergeon and the Tudor-branded tool is excellent too (and very good for travelling with, I'll post some pics at some point).ProfGlenn wrote:I'm rubbish at changing bracelets.

Omega fanboy here... Tudors recent stuff has finally made the brand interesting though.

Hi - where did you get that strap from? I am really struggling to find a brown strap that is 22mm at the lugs and 18mm at the Tudor clasp. I have ordered the red bezel strap as a result! The black one is too black. Thanks!
