Hit RubberB and Everest up for a 21mm strap for the new Sub. RubberB either has a wait list or is currently in design phase- which is not apparent, and Everest is in design phase. So, neither of them has a 21mm strap for the new Sub, and I’m hesitant to put it on a silicone from Barton, even though I like their straps, so it will just stay on this 22mm Tropic or go back on the bracelet until a better option becomes available.

Great picture as usual.

Re: Tuesday 16 March WRUW
I had one and it wore pretty well for me. Mine was on the cloth strap, so I imagine the bracelet makes it wear heavier. And the beveling added to both sides of the undercase does a surprisingly good job of lessening the "slab effect" that I've found to be present with other black bay models.rockmastermike wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 9:55 amhow does this wear? I've heard that is it big and heavy, but its gotta be smaller and lighter than the EXPII I would imagine
I also had the 42mm Exp II, but it was so long ago I don't think I can do a fair comparison. I do remember thinking the Exp II looked cartoonishly large on my wrist, mostly because of the size of the dial and hands. Not so with the BB GMT.

Re: Tuesday 16 March WRUW
I agree with Jeff, Mike. It's not a light watch (then again heavy watches don't bother me at all), but don't find it heavier feeling than a lot of others. Bracelet does add some weight (this is the BB non-faux-rivet bracelet) which is quite nice (though not on-the-fly adjustable).JBZ wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 10:28 amI had one and it wore pretty well for me.

My wrist is not big ~6.3/4 (though flat) and I don't find it wears big at all.
It's not thin, but I don't find it overly thick and it sits down well for me (I *am* sensitive to overly thick watches and this one is no problem). Yes, it would be nice if it was 2mm thinner, but still fine for me.
My EXP II is probably one of my largest wearing 42mm watches, especially on the bracelet, though wears considerably smaller on straps. I think this definitely wears smaller than the EXP II.

Re: Tuesday 16 March WRUW
yep, came with the case adapter and four branded nylon two piece straps. with the case adapter in place and the screwbars in the lugs one can also run singlepass nylon, but lugs are 24mm, so I need to source some one piece nylon in that width...
