Bracelet vs Leather vs Rubber

Bought the bb58 a couple of weeks before Christmas. I got it with the bracelet and also bought the leather strap. As I enjoy rubber straps I also bought one from @wristbuddys. I really enjoy the variations a how each strap makes it a different watch. Which one do you guys like the most??

I like 'em all.

And now you have 3 watches.

·

Bracelet is by far the best for me honestly

I have the bracelet myself and a couple of leather straps. The bracelet really positively surprised me but still I like it best on leather. For my personal taste the BB58 does not go so well with rubber and I find the Pelagos more consistent on a rubber strap.

But that's the great thing about it... you can do what you like most.

Love a good rubber strap for an active watch.

·

Looks great on all 3 but I think the leather stands out most if it's part of the right outfit.

·

All three look nice but I like it the most on the bracelet. Like rolex I think the Tudor looks best on the original bracelet.

·

Out of my twelve watches exactly zero are on bracelets - I really don’t like them. But for this particular watch, your BB58, I have to say…it does look best on a bracelet!

(I’d still wear it on rubber though :)

Bracelet

·

Rubber is my fav ' especially with a deployment clasp :)

·

I wear mine on all three. Rubber more in the summer, nato to switch it up

Agree! I have the OEM nato as my summer strap

·

I like the leather! I just got mine today and put it on this elastic strap from @StrapHabit !

It depends on the watch. You should add the nylon or NATO strap. Again depends on the watch.

·

Bracelet, then rubber, then an elastic style (Erika’s) type nato is all I typically wear.

·

Personally I like it best on the leather strap but it’s a killer watch in any configuration congratulations

·

You can try an Erika nato also

They all look good. I have a Speedmaster with a few straps plus the bracelet I bought it on. I rotate through with no fixed cycle or timeline and I enjoy them all with no clear favourite. It’s like having multiple watches when you can change up the look so easily. Enjoy your Tudor 👏

A leather strap always looks good on a Black Bay!

·

I don’t know why, but somehow with a BB58, I really like leather straps.

The more I look at it, the more I kinda think that this watch doesn’t really look like a tool watch, so it causes some dissonance with its own bracelet

·

I hate bracelets, I never use them.

For me it’s leather as much as possible, nylon NATO almost as much, and rubber for sport activities.

·

Bracelet always

Is this a dead giveaway

Looks nice on the green strap as well 😮

·

I wear mine on the bracelet or NATO strap. Bracelet a bit more than the NATO

·

I tried it on a Leather (As bought) then a Rubber ( It’s a diver after all) then a Blackbay heritage strap and finally the Uncle Seiko Jubilee…. And yes I am expecting the Rolex wannabe comments, but you know what ?! I actually prefer the Tudor to the sub, there I said it.

P.s. mine is a Tudor BlackBay Heritage 41mm

Since the BB58 is a vintage inspired launch by Tudor, I personally believe the OEM metal bracelet is the best look but I have discovered the high quality fabric straps from Tudor are a second best option.

·

Looks great man. I love the 41 burgundy but it’s to big for me 🥹

I was really excited for the fabric strap from Tudor, but for some reason, when I saw it in the store it just didn’t seem right to me.

I get it, seems like a lot of money for what it is but it is very attractive fitted to any of the BB models. Rubber you would have to source from an independent brand.

They all look excellent 👍🏻I don’t know that leather strap combo gives off a vintage feel
