Thoughts on Nato for tudor BB58

[BabaNJ]

Got this nato for my BB 58 to wear until i find a gen or rep nato for it. It is not straight up black but "midnight" meaning black and blue weave with khaki in middle like the tudor natos. Single pass and adjustable also same as the tudor nato. What you guys think?

Picture here with Gen Tudor Fabric, Crown and Buckle Chevron and generic el cheapo C&B wannabe (Luffwatchstrap.com, cheapnatostraps.com etc)

Hands down Crown & Buckle Chevron. They may look similar but C&B is way better quality with anti-fray stitching, thicker material, better color, better hardwares and size are comparable to the Gen. Tudor Gen Fabric strap are not easily available and you may have to own a Gen watch to get one in most places.

Thanks, is the crown and buckle nato only black/khaki or blue/black weave with khaki ?

Its night/black harvest which is of a darker shade of blue. The color blends nicely you hardly see the blues in daylight.

I bought a watchgecko and a crown and buckle. I like the watchgecko.

Crown and buckle will still have blue weaved in. Pretty similar to what you currently have, maybe a fraction darker.

C&B strap are not like what he has in the first post. C&B chevron are thicker, the color weave is much more refined, darker. The strap has stitched ends, are much shorter and it is meant to be worn just like the Gen Tudor Fabric unlike the long nato style fitting.

TBH, the strap has better flexibility than the Gen strap with less memory on the strap folds

Perfect the C&B, worth the money!

Will order also in leather for my gen watch!
