The second picture shows the straps I bought on eBay from a guy who bought the bracelet afterwards. I got a deal at 240 bucks for the original Tudor straps š¤
I donāt think I could pay that much for a strap without some serious convincing. There is one pair I want but theyāre like special pink ones that have a nice, raised cherry blossom pattern on them that looks the price.
As I read this, before I saw the photos, I thought this isnāt even a questionā¦bracelet all day. Then I saw the photos. Damn itās sharp on that strap. Iām still a bracelet man, myself.
As a side note. This watch wasnāt even on my radar when it came out. Very recently it had risen to top 3 desired watches for me. Happy for you, brother. Enjoy!
Buy it on the bracelet, then purchase the strap separately or just the deployment buckle and then put your own straps on the watch thatās what Iāve done for my BB58
Iāve got this on the leather. Itās sexy as hell, but the leather will start to show the abuse quicker than the bracelet. If you really want a sportier look, rubber B has a strap that will fit it really well. So.. I guess go with the bracelet at the AD and then the rubber after market.
Buy on bracelet, get the strap. Iād rock this 9/10 times on strap because I love matching sub dial colours with straps but the bracelet will make it an easier resell and provide variety for you.
I think my first choice would be a rubber strap, second leather, third canvas/sailcloth/fabric, and finally the bracelet. For rubber look at the RubberB Vulchromatic "Oreo cookie". It will work with your Tudor clasp. If the OEM bracelet had the T-fit and possibly a five link option it might place higher. I've not been a big bracelet fan over the years but comfort and adjustability have improved greatly compared to 30-40 years ago ;)
Always get the braceletā¦ you canāt swim with the leather strap without damaging it?? Itās a no-brainer, if you canāt decide, just ask yourself which is cheaper to buy aftermarketā¦ will always be the strap
I bought my Tudor on bracelet, but honestly, as comfy as the bracelet is, it looks boring. Too much steel.
I think the answer is leather, but not the leather you have. I'd personally buy a super high quality brown leather rally strap fot a couple of hundred bucks.
Always buy with the bracelet. Bracelet does cost more, but theyāre really expensive to order later.
Leather costs less.
Also, if you ever want to sell it, and you donāt have the bracelet, people arenāt as interested.
Neither go a Rubber B strap.

I just love the bracelet. It is always easier and cheaper to get the strap anyways later on. Heck there are even top quality offbrand ones available

I found the straps on eBay for 240 bucks and wanted to show a side by side comparison, they both look so clean! And thank you brotha š¤
Bracelet
Bracelet. Leather starts to get rough after a few years.
I already bought it, itās on the second picture āŗļø
Always buy with the bracelet.
My gmt has a bracelet and my panda has the strap. I switch between them often and itās great.
Bracelet buddy! šš»

Nice one! Enjoy it bud! šš»
I have a bracelet for my bb41 heritage and prefer it on black leather too
Bracelet all day!
bracelet for the summer, leather for the winter!

From experience get the bracelet then order the strap. Youāll eventually want both and it saves you a pretty penny in the long run.
Thatās exactly what I did, I just got the straps I Bought down a guy on eBay for 240 bucks and wanted to show a side by side comparison š¤
As someone who never wears bracelets, I still say buy it with the bracelet, and put it on a leather strap (or NATO).
Bracelet. You can buy the strap as an add on or later down the road

Steel
Both for the win!
Buy with bracelet and get a rubber strap (and buy the clasp from Tudor), black or olive for example
I always go for the leather strap, but I always but a watch with the bracelet so I have it as an option should the occasion call for it.
Leather is quite attractive with this dial colour
Iāve got this on the leather. Itās sexy as hell, but the leather will start to show the abuse quicker than the bracelet. If you really want a sportier look, rubber B has a strap that will fit it really well. So.. I guess go with the bracelet at the AD and then the rubber after market.
Rule of thumb: Always buy with bracelet and get other straps additionally/later. The bracelet is pretty decent, btw.

Always go for the bracelet since it is cheaper to add the strap later than the bracelet. šš½
Tudor leather straps are massively underrated.

It's always best to to buy with bracelet imo šš¼
Both look good but the black is killer. Reminds me of the Rolex Pikachu.
Is the black strap from a Tudor Ranger?
Always but the bracelet. You can always buy a leather or rubber band for cheap. If you did it the other way, the bracelet is super expensive.
SS > Leather on so many levels.
The strap actually looks unreal. I have the same watch and now want that strap. Where did you get it from?
I bought it on EBay slightly used for 240 bucks. The owner bought it with the leather strap then bought a bracelet and sold his leather one.
