Woven from angel hair?
@davito Very nice watch you have there, D. Wear it in good health. Totally agree on your watch philosophy too.
@Sugar Mountain - as promised, the B&S straps:
For now, you'll have to imagine what they look like on my Tudor…

The Blue Bay looks excellent D, congrats again. Any regret in not going for the bracelet?
I think this one looks fantastic on leather and the woven strap, as others have mentioned, is outstanding, colorwise too. But, I think I'd find myself also wanting the bracelet, which unfortunately adds another $300 or so on to the final ticket…...

@Chiba J. I was adamant about getting the BB on a bracelet. Even though I have plans to possibly switch it out for a NATO strap next summer, I figured that it would always be better to have the bracelet longer term. The quality of the BB leather strap didn't quite cut it for me either.
@Qinhan While we're on the subject of quality leather, those straps look killer! I appreciate your artistry with the mocked-up Tudor face there too
@davito Completely agree with your longer post above. We can't really limit ourselves to styles of watches where the original design is applicable to our lifestyles. By the same logic, none of us would be wearing jeans or workboots unless we were working on a ranch or putting out bush fires. The Sub-style diver is just a simple classic in terms of utility and aesthetics.
Really enjoying this thread lately btw.

congrats on a beautiful watch guys @Sugar Mountain @davito wear them in good health. I nearly bought one myself but decided not to and save up until I can afford a Rolex Sub. Nonetheless, Tudor nailed it with the reasonable price and handsome design.
Anyway, here is my daily beater with heavy nato i bought from the bay. My trusted companion and comfortable when wearing my IH shirts as the rest of my watches didn't fit quite right under the cuffs.

great shit guys @davito @Sugar Mountain …you guys really "force" me to join the tudor group one day (not good)
@Friday god damn is that a beauty! congrats again.
-
@Friday thx much Sir. Yes the rolex sub is def worth saving for. I once had the anni LV sub which was stolen in a burglary at home. Still crying after it sometimes but now I am very very happy with the BB feeling real good. However the frog might join me sometimes maybe again.
Your Seiko looks good enjoy it in good health too together with your other beauties

@davito I'm sure that no-one forces you to buy a watch, in exactly the same way that no-one forces you to buy IH gear. Rather it's a compulsion!
I've managed to avoid falling into the whole WIS multiple watch trap. I'm planning on selling my Breitling soon, and settling with just the Geophysic.
