I think, the kw straps are terribly awful.
I had a leather vintage strap made by corrigia, that was nice. But I wanted a strap, I could use for the beach and for swimming:
No dress watch anymore.But I like it !
yep, love that, want to share the strap maker?

Sure: https://www.h2o-watch.com/armbander-verschlusse/canvas-armbander-24mm.html
Nice quality, not expensive. 24 mm is ok for the BBB.
Working on the darkening process... It's a lot of trial and error.

mine has a little up/down play in the bezel - it's quite visible from side on. is this just mine or everyone's the same? any ideas how I can resolve it?
Mine's from KW and I'm experiencing the same issue as you.
Doesn't bother me much as I don't play with the bezel much. But if there is a simple solution I wouldn't mind trying it out.
Waiting to see if there's anyone who's able to help!

Just received my V6f tudor from Chazing...Very nice watch but time to shop for a nice vintage brown \ patina strap ...The nato is too small for my 7.5 wrist as well.
...The nato is too small for my 7.5 wrist as well.FYI, you can adjust the strap... though it's a pain. You need to take out a spring bar in the buckle. It fits my 7.25 wrist with a couple holes to spare. But still short for a nato! I'm not going to mess with it though. It's about the worst Nato I've ever seen in terms of quality. I've had better $10 nato straps.

Got mine on Friday, it looks very nice, a couple of sharp edges which I took off really easily with a burnisher. I removed the patina with fine some Scotchbrite and lightly brushed the surface before deciding I will let it age naturally, which turned out to be a good move...
The bezel triangle and 12 o'clock marker were a little bit off (1/3mm), so I moved the movement over and, as I was rushing, screwed the keyless works! I tried resetting it from the back (which is pretty scary) but it wasn't the clutch lever that had slipped, so had to take the hands and dial off to get to it from the front. Reset the keyless fine, cleaned the movement a bit, got the dial back on perfectly clean and centred with no fluff on the inside of the crystal, then noticed the second hand was fouling on the minute hand. I whipped the second hand off and then broke the pinion replacing it; BOLLOCKS! So its off for a little holiday with a competent watchsmith, however, I did get a Noob PAM177 with it, so can get some wear out of that first.
Am looking forward to wearing this one, although my wife prefers the blue bezel BB, so I'll probably pick one of those up for her...

My dial gives the same effect when I look at it from the same angle so I guess not...
