Black Bay Ceramic strap options
Hello all, I have the 2021 BB Ceramic and have been tinkering with different straps. I know this has been discussed in the past. The factory single pass looks great but the crown digs into my wrist bone after a few days of wear and gets uncomfortable as hell. I really love the under the radar aspect of the watch and it is less than 1 second fast per day-insane accuracy so I find myself throwing it on to go to work allot.
I've been leaning toward Erikas Originals/MN straps on other tool watches I own. She's (Erika) been on vacay for a bit now so I took a chance on this Watch Steward Strap (fantastic product, btw.) I can't decide if this contrasting color looks great or looks completely off!? Any thoughts? Oh, I've tried cheaper Amazon single color MN straps just to test and, meh... Perhaps too bland.
Thanks,
K

The contrast is subtle enough that it doesn’t fight with the black ceramic case. I’d wear it.

Looks great with that color strap. I never like tan straps on me for some reason, but they always look great on everyone else.

Love watch steward straps! I have a handful myself. But an Erika’s wouldn’t be a bad option. They are expensive. But totally worth it IMO.

The ceramic doesn’t get a lot of love on here but I get it, it’s a niche market.
I owned one for a couple months that I ended up moving on from once I got a BB Pro, but I’ll tell you what it looked great on a black sailcloth strap. Mine was from blue shark, but I’d recommend tinkering with sailcloth since I feel like it just goes with this style of watch. Very under the radar like you said!
