No worries bro

I sent mine thru the boutique at MBS.
Took abt 6 weeks.

BP has tendency to run faster esp when new due to the 8 day power reserve. Go for servicing.. they can tune it for u.

Was at gnomon watches looking at leather straps.
90 dollars for this dievas strap

Tudor looks old school vintage now in my opinion
Feeling pleased now with the look over the standard NATO strap lol

Damasko for durability, Tudor for brand conscious people ba imho.

I would pick the Damasko due to their durability. Since you are looking at Damasko did you look at the DA46/DA47? I mean first 2 choices were divers mah haha.

You should feel pleased of how much the lug gap has reduced with this strap as opposed to the original distressed leather by Tudor.

I was made confused by Henabi's posts. I think he made a typo and said can't instead of can. You made a good point about warranty though.

Didn't realise my typo lolx...
The warranty is stand alone 2 years per watch.

Hm there is still a noticeable gap between the strap and the watch head.
Just not easily seen in the picture :o
The brown color helps give the impression of a smaller gap.

Can't imagine how big the gap was on tudor's own leather strap >_>
