Question/Suggestions for a Strap for my Midnight Blue BB

[Deeje]

I just picked this watch up and am thinking of going after a strap to give the watch a whole new look that I can swap out some. What do you guys suggest. It looks like its 22mm from what I checked but not completely sure on that. I've done some looking but not sure I want to put out 150 or so on a strap. So anything that you guys can suggest for me would be greatly appreciated.

Since its the midnight blue was thinking of a dark blue distressed strap or a vintage look brown strap. Probably shell cordovan if I can find, but I know that throws the price up there for that.

Again thanks for any suggestions you guys may have on it.

I really like Gunny's blue strap for the BB. Of course it's $150.00. He is having a Black Friday sale at 20% off though.

Thanks. I'll go give it a look. Seems like most straps are more geared to Pams and other brands. This coming from a Strap Noob.

Jose Maria made me this strap for my red BB, and I'm certain it will look good

OP. you might want to try strappedfortime bomber straps. It looks similar to the BB distressed leather but comes on a tang buckle. I think they have black/brown/blue options.

.....please forget the blue BOMBER STRAP from strappedfortime for the blue BB ---> I´ve bought it and it is much to bright in comparsion to the dark blue bezel.....

this strap is really phantastic in quality, but sadly it doesn´t fit the blue BB

look into a grey or grey/black nylon nato strap. that'd look great.

edit: this one would look great

It should also look good on midnight blue BB if stitching is of different color

Where can I get in touch with that person. I like that look a lot.

The strap was made by Jose Maria - a very fine maker, have many straps of his.
His web site is: http://cbstraps.blogspot.com

or you can reach him on Facebook under CB Straps

He makes custom straps, you can choose basically a lot of options: length, width, stitching etc.

This is the strap that served as basis for mine: http://cbstraps.blogspot.com/2014/02/craqueled.html

Well, I finally got mine back in and put on the wrist. Still no strap but had some movement stuff to get serviced. Thanks Kev.




and the Lume shot

 

[godhanded]

you got it relumed?

 

[Deeje]

nope. Its what it came with. I had to get the movement lubed. Said it was dry. But it is WR to 3 atm. probably more but that's all his machine can test.
