A Quick Strap-to-Bracelet Swap for Blue Pelagos

Recommended Posts

dave47

Hi, Gang!Time to ask permission to pick your brains again on this swap I just made on my blue TUDOR PELAGOS.  I originally had it on a nice, thick blue w/ white stitching leather strap for a while; but the last time I wore it, I felt there was too much blue on the wrist so I secured a Breitling-style s/s bracelet from The Bay and swapped them out. I kinda like it now, doesn't make me feel so self-conscious about all the blue.  What do YOU guys think?  

Thanks for your time and attention.

Love the thickness of the leather strap with contrast side colour.
IMHO, stainless steel gives it a better bolder presence though

I think the Pelagos needs curved end links on the bracelet mate.

Might need to source a rep Tudor bracelet.

+1.

It looks kinda nekkid without the end links, Dave.

Personally, I prefer the strap though.

Yes, you and Thommo are right: it needs the curved end links; in the meantime, given my lack of attention and vision, I'll just wear it the way it is; although, the idea of a Tudor rep bracelet is intriguing. I'll do some searches now.

THANKS, WG!  I agree!  I believe, too, that the bracelet adds a more powerful dimension to the watch's look.

I have the same strap on a Seamaster chrono - they get a bit darker over time and lose some of the vividness.

Hi Dave!

  Question, is the SS bracelet the "Techno-Jubilee" from CheapestNato straps?

Looks nice Dave. To give you more idea i had same watch on a tudor type blue/white/orange nato and it looked great. Here it is for a measly $11

Clockwork Synergy Classic Nylon Nato watch straps bands (22mm, Navy / White / Orange) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NP3HUW0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9hD0CbGGF2XPK

Normally seen on tudor chrono but it also looked great on my pelagos. Plus it went well with my other watches also.

No, P.!  I got it from a basic seller on The Bay.  Not too sophisticated when trying to acquire straps and bracelets. Still learning.

Actually, BB, that nato looks very nice!!  Although not a fan of those straps, I just might look into this. THANKS for the idea, my friend.
