Wristbuddys straps review.
Wristbuddys were very kind to send me these straps. I do not have to return them.
I am aware I say clasp a lot when I mean tang buckle/pin and buckle.

Gorgeous watch
Bumibili kaba ng ganyan
I have told my fried if he ever sells this to come to me first!
I love Titanium. Especially on Watches that are Heavily Designed. Divers mainly. It just simply works for me .
Problem is the doors are very flimsy, you can push your way into the garage without any tools, alarm or no alarm system.
This is significantly more secure than the up and over I had before it. They would have to lever the frame off the wall to gain entry.
Thumbnail got me hungry, Yogi was looking like a brown crispy set of fried drumsticks 🍗 and wings 😋
That comment made my day!
Wouldn’t be summer vibes if it weren’t rainy 😂
Thank you for the review. I was thinking on throwing out $30 for a seat belt nato because my current one from Amazon is itchy as hell, but I definitely wouldn’t enjoy my watch sliding everywhere on my wrist.
I have delugs and I have the same one from aliexpress. There are no differences in quality. He counted me $13 en aliexpress.
With all the FKM straps now the quality seems to be the same ish. Just preference of style and quality of clasp that make a difference. Even there all the clasps are average that I have seen.
had mine since release day best watch in my collection by far !
Love it. Wrist size?
Bang on 7 inches.
Love that great combo
Look like dog pu
Nice change up on what can be considered a one and done.
1:50 Hmm, my measurements, in regards to thickness, for the 124060 is 12mm and for the 126710BLNR it is 12.4mm. Only 0.4mm difference with the sub actually being thinner :)
Wow that's gorgeous. I wish I had the wrist to pull it off. Had to settle for a basic sub but would choose this in a heartbeat if I could.
Great content! I do a livestream in the morning and late evening UK time. Would love to collab and talk watches, swing by sometime! Happy to share stories and my experiences with watch youtube over the past 10 years - ARCHIELUXURY
what percentage did you get the tail lights tinted?
It wasn’t stated when I did it. I went to the place and looked at the two he had and just chose the one I liked the look of.
Looks awesome! Thanks!
I ordered mine from Aliexpress which sells the same rubber strap (flat) and exactly the same deployant clasp for 27€ free delivery and no duty taxes so i don't think is worth buying the same rubber strap with the Delugs logo for 180€ after shipping and taxes. You can't sell third party rubber straps coming from Asia at those prices and pay for shippping if you don't spend 250$ is crazy!
Just bought the Alieexpress variant it’s honestly no different to this.
Thanks for the review! New subscriber and enjoying your content
Glad you are finding my videos useful 😃
Did you spray paint the mirror housings or is there a shiny black version like that from the factory?
The car came like that. They could have been sprayed by a previous owner.
Is dark grey or black? Thanks.
Dark grey.
Nice video. Just picked up a 39 this week. What screw size for the bracelet? I do my Omega, but haven't touched this yet. I heard 1.4mm, Thanks!
I no longer have my watch so can’t check. I just used the screwdriver that fit best. Sorry.
If u don't like the watch, sell the watch
I do like the watch but yes have just sold it.
@@wheelsandwatches no you didn't! I was kidding!
The watch is spot on and if I didn’t own it I would have bought it. Sadly I just wasn’t wearing it.
Mine went back to Zenith in February due to the “knocking the side” issue. I finally got it back in July, only to now have the chrono reset issue. It takes 4-5 presses to get it back to 12. My AD has it now and is working with Zenith on a replacement. I also wrote a letter to the new CEO - I have several Zeniths and none have had any issues, disappointed, etc. I have not yet heard back. This is very disappointing. I bought it in June 2023 and have not been able to wear it for close to half of that time.
That’s a shame, I’m sure they will sort it for you and this will all be a distant memory eventually. Mine had been spot on and I wear it pretty much every day.
@@wheelsandwatches My AD is expecting a new shipment this week and I will get one of those as a replacement.
Thanks for the update. When I reset the chrono, sometimes it lands 1/10 to 1/20 of a second off from the 12 'o clock mark - a second press of the reset pusher puts it back dead on. Do you still face a similar issue? I'm thinking whether it's worth sending in for such a small deviation when everything else about my copy is running perfectly (seems like many people on forums mention that other issues can potentially happen when sending a watch in for service). Cheers
No I wouldn’t bother, I only sent mine back as it moved of the 12 o’clock position with the slightest of knocks.
@wheelsandwatches Thanks for the feedback. I've had 2 instances where the movement stopped when activating the chrono, but haven't been able to replicate the event thereafter - have read that it's possible due to the lateral clutch movement but will keep tabs and see.
@danieltan9999 the good thing is you know there is a fix for it if it bothers you at some stage. Alternatively get it done when the watch is eventually serviced.
Is that white mclaren the type you are considering??
That’s a very light blue and the spider variant. I’m looking at the coupe but effectively the same car, yes. His most recent service was £7k 🤪 Had a good chat with him and he basically proved my research to be spot on in terms of what issues he has had. I’m after a 570s coupe.
Why on earth car and bike meets are on grass will always baffle me. Gotta be UK 🇬🇧
Sadly they tend to be the only areas with adequate parking.
@@wheelsandwatches I always assumed it was the only legal place… you could easily fit a car show into most trading estates on a Sunday when it’s all shut. But I suspect the land owners wouldn’t want it
@MAJ0RMEL0DY exactly, there have been issues in trading estates, Supermarket car parts etc in the past.
@@wheelsandwatches shame the uk doesn’t really embrace its love for motoring the way it should.
Thanks for the review! 🙌
Thanks for watching 👍
Looks crap.
Your vocal Frye is so annoying
I am on day 1 with the rubber so wish me luck. Im enjoying the sleeper look and the potential versatility.
I loved it on the rubber. If it had the T-fit on the rubber it would have stayed on it.
Such a beautiful interesting watch. The only negative being it’s effect on the rest of the collection 😅. Have you yet to try it on a different strap. Or like me are you content with the best combo being OEM?
I have tried it on Artem and other straps but I like the clasp it comes on and the look of the zenith strap. I am bugging zenith on social media to create more colour options! I had my omega on heaps of straps including omega nato but it always ends up back on its original bracelet.
Ever though about the 42?. I went for that over the 39 as I like a chunky watch.
I did own the blue 42 and did like it but oddly couldn’t get a comfy fit. I prefer the dimensions of the 39 to be honest. I do like the LHD though.
I've owned 2 tudors and they both had issues with dust and obvious flaws on the dial. I was going to buy another Tudor. I was looking at the watch in the store, and there was obvious dust under the dial, which I saw with my naked high in the store to be clear. I now own an IWC and an Omega. They are much better companies that Tudor or Rolex in my opinion!
I have the exact opposite, 2 Tudor watches and zero issues. No dust on the dial and they are very accurate about +1 sec a day
@@key4duty I was buying back before 2020. Maybe they are better now. I want a blue pelages but I am afraid to buy one.
I am not even sure they have resolved the issues I had with mine. I have lume on the bezel fall out and the bezel seized twice. Never used it in salt water so no idea why that happened.
I own 3 Longines watches and I've NEVER had to send them back for QC issues. Tudor charges $4-5 for their watches and being this lax in deciding whether defective watches get sold is outrageous. The parroted cliche I read that Tudor is 80% of Rolex or 'what Rolex used to be' is bullshit. There's many cool brands in this price range for you to choose from.
It is disappointing. Having said that, when my longines was serviced it came back with smudged on the dial. All watches can have issues but Tudors do seem to be quite poor, at least from my experience.
So I would love to know what cruise line you are sailing with and the ships name? I've been seriously considering a cruise to the Norwegian fjords and would love some feedback. I'm a big watch fan but prefer your omega
Hi, we are sailing with P&O on the Iona. A magnificent ship with a huge amount to do. I can understand that. The omega is a watch with wider appeal 👍
You actually go over and then under the keepers so it locks in. Kind of like a motorcycle helmet strap
Oh dear, Zenith really is a poor quality product.
Not sure about that. I had issues with multiple Tudors. My IWC has poor lume application, I know of a Patek that was take. Out of packaging and would not wind. Not to mention the issues with the latest crop of Rolex movements. The customer service from zenith was exemplary, that made a massive difference. The watch is fine now and I love it.
Bought the 39 on a bracelet which was great. Tried out the black rubber for a few months and was great. Bought a red zealande bespoke strap and used the spare buckle from the divers extension and it is now on for good. Looks and feels amazing. Now rotate with a BB monochrome on a rubber/deployant, bluesy on a bicolour, blue pelagos 42 on the titanium bracelet, Tudor gmt on steel bracelet and a blue 58 on a blue leather/deployant. All similar as I love the style but all very different.
Forgot to add.... I find the strap on the 39 is a bit of a pig to swap over. Agree it really does need a quick release
It’s a beautiful thing.
I think the CTS strap is decent for the cost but would have been happy to pay more for a much better clasp i.e. no sharp edges and polished steel, along with pulling less hairs.
Agree. The clasp is not up to the price. The drilled holes aren’t now great. Could be more micro adjust slots and it is quite sharp on the edges.
@@wheelsandwatches Yep too many sharp edges, once its on its fine, the black rubber matches very well with my Grand Seiko Quartz SBGX261, their cheapest watch but IMO their best....I wonder if the black finished clasps feel less sharp due to the paint/finish.......
@501CM yeah not sure but not spending the money to find out.
I appreciate your honesty. This will be my next watch. I hope Tudor addresses some of the issues you mention, but honestly I'd take one as-is. cheers mate.
Do you mind if I ask what you used to refinish the links and clasp as looks like new as you say in the video.
No problem at all. Grey 3m scotch brite pad 👍
Hi is it grey 3m scotch brite ultra fine pad?
It is, yes.
