New strap on the MB&F Perpetual

Sep 15, 2023,15:23 PM
 

I absolutely love this watch, but the strap and deployant it came with was remarkably uncomfortable on my wrist.  The deployant dug into my skin and the way it sprung open always gave me a heart attack.  The alligator strap was incredibly stiff, and most likely would have softened some with time, but I am not a patient man.


Putting the watch on an OEM fabric strap with tang buckle completely transformed the watch for me, both aesthetically and ergonomically.  Tiny modifications like this can make a huge difference.

I’m with you on the tang buckle, just don’t drop that beauty. That’s the only negative of tangs in my opinion. It hasn’t happened to me, but I have come close a few times.

Good tip.

I'm usually not a fan of fabric straps, but I agree it works incredibly well here!

I find most deployants horribly uncomfortable
