The Jury Is Out On This
I think the closest I've ever come to owning a Bund strap is asking people's opinion here and being told not to bother.
I decided to give one a go as part of a recent strap order.
I guess it'll come down to comfortable or not; this is a nice, soft leather - it may work out.

Going to go against the tide and say that I think it overwhelms the watch a bit. A less bulky strap might be a better option for that watch.

I personally think bund straps should stay in the 1960s. Never to return.
This watch needs a heuerville rally strap.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Re: The Jury Is Out On This
I tried one.....once.
That's definitely the nicest Bund I've seen though, I might actually wear that.

Here's a few pilot strap options that might work well on the Big Eye:
IWC Style Pilot Strap
Riveted Pilot Strap
I also like it on an Olive canvas strap like the one you have.

No idea if I'll like it, but decided it was time to try one.

I like it but not that particular one. Not sure sure who makes it but the stitching is embarrassing on it
Re: The Jury Is Out On This
I inherited my Grandfather's watch that he wore as a paratrooper in WWII stationed in the South Pacific theater. I have this photo of him rocking it on a bund strap. The watch is tiny by today's standards but I placed it on a bund strap in his honor after having it cleaned and serviced a few years ago. It mostly sits in the safe, but the bund strap does help add a little size to the small case. I figure if a bund was good enough for the greatest generation, it is good enough for me.
BTW he is 17 in this photo.... lied about his age when he joined the service.

Re: The Jury Is Out On This
The bund is a style that I feel is better left in the past. I just can do it myself.
