Tudor Black Bay Steel + Gold Strap Show

When I purchased the Tudor Black Bay Steel + Gold two weeks ago, a major factor in my immediate fascination for that watch came from the pre-aged leather strap that perfectly matched the matte golden elements of the case itself.




Unfortunately, it was rather short, so I decided to order one in XL, which will take its time to arrive, unfortunately.

Packed in the watch box also came a very nice NATO strap:



This, too, is suffering from the length issue, but I did not order a longer original strap, since the after market offers ample alternatives. Just recently, my order of nylon/textile straps arrived, and I would like to present to you various Black Bay outfits. How do you like them? Would you pick one of them (or several) yourself?

First combo we are presented by our gorgeous model "Golden Blacky" is a sporty sand-coloured textile strap:





Then comes the same, but in chocolate brown - yummy!





This one ... ahem .... has smuggled itself into the show. Normally it belongs on a Breitling Chronomat:







A bit more audacious is this colourful striper - ladies will love it!







Last, but not least: a classically NATO-tailored "mud" strap:






It is not really a recipe for slim appearance, but classics follow their own rules:



So do you have a favourite here?
