I am a fan of the FXD, but lost faith in the OEM Velcro strap. 

It has become unfastened but didn’t fall off while getting rolled in the surf surfing, and did fall off after a jack knife off the diving board (thankfully in a pool so recoverable). I bought this watch specifically because my bronze IWC Aquatimer had the very insecure quick release strap system that kept releasing on me. I need to find a strap I like for the FXD. This perlon is kinda stiff imo.

I just don’t seem able to take this off.

New strap that makes it pop even more. I am a huge fan of the FXD and wear this and the original blue dial often. It ticks so many boxes and allows me to wear a stunning watch in today’s World Capital cities with all the risks that brings. It’s Tudor Wedn...  

100% pleasure 0% fear watch. Hard to beat.

The Black Bay is in the same vein. Love it! ...  

Yes worry free travel and wearing.

Perfect combo …

Just proves the point, a good choice of strap makes the watch. Enjoy !

Thanks. Yes love changing straps.

Makes for a cheaper option than a new watch 😜 M.

Stunning.

Wearing a tudor on a nato/fabric strap is perfect to remain stealthy.

And safer hopefully.

Very cool one this US NAVY FXD. For me this one is as beautiful as the MN. As you have both it must be a real pleasure!

FXD wednesday for me too 😉 And I think this photo really does justice to it this time. Enjoy your day! Micka ...  

Yes the original impressed me so much

I bought the Black. Both great and different enough to warrant their existence. M.

No-frills, no-nonsense,

Try a Bonetto Cinturini 328 rubber Nato

It can easily be converted to a single pass strap by removing the pins that hold the second layer. The strap is reasonably thin, very pliable, and secure. Comes in a variety of colors, too. I have a navy and a grey, and they both look great on my MN FXD. ...  

I don't like hearing that about the OEM velcro

 
 By: blau : February 21st, 2024-17:39
Frankly it doesn't FEEL very secure. The velcro part comes unstuck too easily for comfort. I'm sorry you proved that to be so! I've mostly been wearing mine on elastic MN-style straps from the watch steward ...  

A basic Nato will do the job.

The Velcro is a pain.

 
 By: Miles_151 : February 22nd, 2024-08:45
Buy FXD is so versatile it looks and feels great on so many strap options. M.

My favourite Tudor and such a cool, rugged, practical and classic timepiece!

You just need the Redbull version!

Looked at the Red Bull and passed.

Just not for me. But a nice watch. M.

Very cool. I love wearing mine as well….

 
 By: ChristianDK : February 22nd, 2024-05:23
Wear it for travel or some practical work it’s perfect.

Exactly. 👍🏼

 
 By: Miles_151 : February 22nd, 2024-08:46
Enjoy. M.

That looks great 👍
