    Bay Black Ceramic with new Rubber B strap

    I’ve had my tudor black bay ceramic for about 6 months now and really enjoy it. It wears so comfortably given the 41mm size (the standard 41mm black bay is too slab sided for me). However I didn’t like the standard rubber/leather strap that it came on, in fact after six months the surface of the strap has started peeling away!
    I investigated alternatives and saw thar RubberB has just issued a bespoke strap for the ceramic BB. I ordered one,it arrived very quickly and I’m very impressed by the fit, look and quality. I like that there are no gaps between the watch and the strap now. Definitely recommended.

    That looks like a good match. I did think of a rubber b or Everest for my BB58 but I don’t think it really suits the old school charm of that particular watch, whereas this looks perfect. What’s the clasp/buckle like?

    It’s designed to be used with the original tudor deployment clasp. Very neat I think

    I’ve recently put an Everest on my BB58 as well - I just like rubber straps :)

    They both look really good.

    Great fit at the lugs, as you say - is it at all uncomfortable on the underside (looks thick, but might just be the photos). How easy was it to fit? The RB on my 16600 was a b1tch. Enjoy.

    I find it very comfortable to wear and it doesn’t seem thick to me, I think it may be just the deployment making it look thick in the photo. Regarding fitting it, I admit I got a watch specialist to fit it for me and he didn’t find it easy to do.

    What part did he find difficult? Deployant to strap fitting or strap to case fitting?

    Changing straps on my CBB is a royal pain in the ass as the springbars are so tightly fitted.

    It looks great by the way.

    Strap to case. Springbars were very tight! Thanks

    This makes me regret selling mine. I tried to find a rubber strap for it but the Rubber B wasn't out yet. I think this is the missing piece to making the BB Ceramic an amazing watch!

    I’m curious as to the size of the OP’s wrists. I find most aftermarket straps too short and I end up on the last hole. I must admit that amount of spare strap would irritate me

    Like the original strap, it might be too small for me. Looks great though!
    It's just a matter of time...

    I got my son a RubberB for his Tudor Chronograph. It is an excellent fit and great quality. Highly recommended.

    I’m starting to realise my 9 inch wrists aren’t all that normal!
