Black Bay strap

[simonm]

Hello out there Tudor lovers.

i just got a black bay v3 in red, and as i've seen many of you allready writing the leather strap you get it kinda bad, so i was wondering:

- Does anyone have a link to a site that sells great alternatives to the vintage looking leather strap, and does it fit the decent strap clasp which where allso included in the purchase?
- is it possible to buy the gen Tudor Leather strap anywhere? (i cant seem to find anywhere really)
- is it possible to buy the nato/zulu strap that the gen comes with aswell?

thanks in advance

TBH I've handled the GEN strap (which I'm sure you'd be able to source quite easily even without a gen watch) a number of times and I wasn't very impressed with its quality.

The rep you get is apparently even worse, but if you're gonna splash on a new leather I would go with a third party!

Allright, how would you get your hands on the gen strap? and do you know the price?

do you have any experience with third party brands ?

The Gen Straps are available from AD's for £150
or if you can find a third party supplier they are available through them too, Same price.

IMO , the gen strap is not worth $150. The strap linked above is $49. But I think you can get creative with this watch... Looks nice with any brown leather... Someone posted it with a red, white and blue NATO and it looked great. Have fun with it!

I have a gen black bay blue. The strap is a piece of garbage. Try to find another strap.

This is a good angle of the gen crystal... To me, it really completes the vintage feel
