Japanese food was good! Haha
I got the cracked black from Martu and it's on its way to me now. Will take some pics once it's here.
Would the martu be compatible with the Tudor deployant clasp? Or would it only work with the included tang buckle?
I didn't get the clasp from TD as it's the same price as the strap itself. But I'm sure Martu can customise the strap to fit the clasp as long as you provide the necessary dimensions.
Deployment clasp is available here for substantially less, fully engraved IRL. [emoji846]

Yeah, I got one, it's nice, ceramic bearings, all good.
You just need a band that's 22mm at the lugs that tapers to 18mm on the buckle end and 17.5mm on the perforated side.

That sounds very specific. Is that something that's easy to find?
I bought the rep leather band with deployant (might not have knowing this) so I'm looking for a NATO strap that closely resembles the Gen jacquard one. I read that the gen ones don't double loop over the caseback and are secured at the lugs. Is that true?
Watch is in transit. Will post photos once I receive it.
Yes, the nato has integrated spring bars and a single layer of material across the back.

I've been searching for an aftermarket nato that's comparable to the gen with absolutely no luck. Seems they are all made of nylon ribbon fabric of varying quality.You might think about having one custom made if you can find the fabric and know a decent seamstress [emoji846]. You can get the hardware package here for cheap:

Just take it down to the fabric shop and have one of the old ladies make you one[emoji1]. Wait...are there fabric shops anymore? Come to think of it, I haven't seen one for some time.[emoji848]

I will try to find a place once its here ^^. I also have the rep bronze strap so i can show them how i want it to be.
Just got my black bay red yesterday. QC Jennifer at Puretime was very accommodating sorting me out twice with my pedantic little rejections. Timegraph was +1s/day. I'm very happy with the one I have received. No issue that I could detect with the SEL but the bezel has a little bit of play, not much. The crown was a little hard to unwind at first but now it's very smooth. I also bought the leather deployant strap and it looks and feels only ok. The gap between the strap and the watch is a little big and kinda disturbs me a little.
The springs are a lot harder to release on this compared to the Spectre (only other rep I own) because the gap is so much smaller.
Lume mismatch is very slight in person. The lume beats the pants off the Spectre as well.
Seconds hand is so smooth compared to the lower beat of the Miyota 8215 in the Spectre....

Has anyone bought an original or rep rubber b strap for their Tudor?

Looks real nice. Compatible with the Tudor deployant clasp too.

Haven't found any rep ones .... I was just asking cos I saw the rubber b site and the Tudor on rubber b looks amazing
Hey guys , been awhile since I've checked in here so apologies for asking a trivial question that I'm sure has been asked in these pages .
Is the bezel pearl improved on these? I have a V2 (I think) red heritage and the pearl has gone missing , and it has stopped me from wearing it .
If problems are ongoing I will likely just repurchase a black pelagos .
Cheers in advance !
