Haven't been able to find much here on options for the various Tudor "nato" style fabric straps. This is the number one tell on a Tudor rep if you ask me. Been trying to look into the different options for these nato straps as a replacement since Tudor won't sell you the gen strap, especially the bronze ones, at least I haven't seen any in my searches.

Bronze is 23mm but seems like 24mm natos will still fit.

Here are a few I have found

These are probably the best quality I have found but damn do they get expensive! You can even get in 23mm and with bronze hardware

Here is somebody who makes a gen like leather strap too.

I actually have a gen BB Bronze NATO strap I'm putting up for sale on M2M soon. Made a huge difference on the watch, but I decided 43mm really was too big for my wrist and sold my BBB with the original rep strap. I kept the NATO thinking one day I may grab the rep again, but now Im set on IWC 41mm bronze chrono. Tudor can really make a quality NATO strap, I'll give them that (I ended up getting another gen NATO for my BB GMT and its a stunner).

On the same topic, did anyone find any non-nato 23mm fabric straps? I'm looking for a way to use that nice bronze rep buckle, and I'm not to keen to wear leather in the summer

Did you buy the khaki or the green gen nato?

Khaki/gold from when the BBB was originally released. I was able to source one in NJ from an AD that didnt seem too concerned about selling a fabric strap without proof of ownership.

Need to find an AD like that!

Might have a tougher time finding a Bucherer version though.

Any updates here?
I am also searching nice 23 or 24 Natos with bronze buckle.

Ordered this strap for my Bucherer and think it may suit it.
Distinct lack of options out there in 23mm.
Gen Tudor straps seem to be made too short in NATO and leather for my 8” wrists.
