I stick to the bracelet 95% of the time too, but I do have a Vanguard and the Fifty that I wear occasionally, and I totally agree those are two top straps for the BB58. Sometimes I’ll do a brown or olive leather strap, and that works great too - really any earth-tone strap will look amazing
1. The most suitable color for the stripe in my opinion would be the first nato, but with an additional red stitching running through the middle golden stripe to match the triangle lum pip, 2. How could you scratch the case back so badly (5:17)? 3. Love your sense of humor, 4. Greetings from Poland! Great episode, keep it up !! ;)
I’d love that colourway but done by Crown & Buckle! Haha, I wish I had an answer for that. I don’t baby my watches! And really glad you enjoyed it. Good result last night in the Euros too! Thanks very much
Another great vid mate. I went for the crafter blue rubber for my Pelagos which is a fraction of the price of some of those other makers of rubber straps.
Thanks very much, Mark. I appreciate your support! See, I looked for Crafter Blue one but think they only do it for the BB41. They have about 1,000 holes on 'em, too, so no problem getting a great fit.
Nice review! Agree entirely on the Vanguard and CB straps. The Tudor fabric is a step up from CB though and probably worth the money, but nice to get some variety for the drawer from CB. Mines also 90%+ on the bracelet.
Not at all! My wrist is just over 6 inches, and I went for the shorter length. I think I should’ve gone for the longer one though, or rather, the standard length. If you’re patient enough, I think you could try the longer one and always exchange it if necessary. 👍👍👍hope that’s of some help!
It's not a bad idea to put such a watch on a non descript strap, it looks less conspicuous less chance of getting it stolen.. if you ever decide to sell it the original s/s will look spot on as well.
Good option would be a Perlon by Eulit, that's what my old dad wore on his Sub.. Recently tried one myself and love them, you can get the adjustment perfect. Don't bother with the cheap ones via China though they fray and the buckles are junk.
@@jpwphotographicstudio3891 I love the materials that do that - kind of why I can't get on board with leather straps all that often. Living in the UK, being water-resistant is kind of essential!
That intro... 😂😂😂 Great vid, thnx Edit: Got some Chevron bond straps on the way (the classic Goldfinger, regimental, and Spectre coloroways plus a couple in Pepsi). Can't wait to get them on my Seiko & Orient dailies & add a certain distinction 👀7
Crown&Buckle chevron was a newb mistake I myself did. I suggest you the single pass SUPREME NATO - BLACK & DESERT That being said, the TudorBB58 should stay on the bracelet. Although, these lazy guys @Tudor should have made a quick adjustment option on the clasp.
Interesting - might have to look into that! I really like the Crown & Buckle one, though, and think they really improved them from the first iteration (which I also had). And you’re not wrong about Tudor - or at least one more micro adjust!
The OEM fabric strap is top of the line.

Loved the intro! This looks like a watch that can really do it all with the right selection of straps, great video
Nice one, Ben!
Great review! Love your sense of humour 😊

Thank you! I’d like to try the genuine Tudor fabric strap, definitely. Maybe I’ll get it at some point, but it’s so perfect on the bracelet 👌🏻
Sorry for asking if it’s already mentioned, what is your wrist size? I have a 6.5 inch wrist, and curious which vanguard length I should buy. Thanks!

Which size did you ordered? I have a 6.25 inch wrist, trying to decide which size to order
You've cleary not seen the video of the company that makes Tudor straps.. second to no other. I'm sure it was hidinkee that visited it.. amazing btw
The Vanguard strap is the right size, the normal strap would result in your seeing the tail which wouldn't look as nice
Vanguard's rubber strap is BEYOND excellent!
Agreed! So comfy, and the fit to the lugs is seamless 👌

Not entirely sure why you would want to take the bracelet off apart from to clean it! 😊
And God knows I need to do that! 😂
@@LumePip hehe! 😄
Lol true!
It’s not very comfortable. I end up wearing it on an Uncle Seiko president bracelet or nato most the time
If this video is "the best straps" ,should this video include Tudors own strap? I imagine its better than crown & buckle..
Anthony, I wish I had the money to pay for a Tudor fabric strap! 🤣
What's ya wrist size
6.5 inch

I’ll have to look into these! Thanks 👍👍
Different thickness available they dry in minutes many ways better than NATO's . Favoured by the military in hot climes.

Thanks! Spectre colour-way is the one for me! That’s a nato I could get behind. Definitely my favourite Bond watch, actually
@@LumePip I always liked those blue faced Omegas Pierce wore during his run, but yeah, that Spectre kit is 🔥🔥🔥

@@LumePip the one I mentioned is... a Crown&Buckle strap 😁
You are my favourite watch person 🤣😎
Thanks so much!!
Thanks, great video
Thanks very much!
Do a 'Top 100 Black Bay 58 Videos' video. Do shockface in the thumbnail too.
I know - I need shocked faces, more hyperbolic titles, maybe even a drama-laden scam that gets discussed on Reddit and the channel will explode.

Thank you for bleeping Alexa, it’s the little things that count
😂I know how irritating it can be!
The funniest watch reviewer.
with fabric, Bond James Bond.

Very funny intro lol. Stick to the bracelet.
