Not a fan of the white number printing but otherwise, very nice. Been thinking about one for my BLNR fora while. Does the strap keep the watch head secure (e.g., no flopping around)? Is it comfortable?

I have a plain grey one and its very nice and starting to get slightly worn on the edges which looks cool. I was considering getting one with the numbers, but now that I’ve seen it, I’ll stick to plain. If those numbers start to fade away that might look cool.

IMO, most comfortable sports strap made for EDW.

I wasn't a fan of the number either...so much so I didn't know I was ordering it. - I had no clue the "numbering" would come on the outside or would be in any way prominent. However, there's something about it. I like the way it looks and feels - a lot.

Here's the tutorial video for installing so you can see how it's secured.

Looks very cool although I’m a bit on the fence with the numbers... I’ve been considering getting one for a couple of weeks.

One important question (for me) does it have any particular odor?

I ask because sometimes fabric straps have a funny smell that really puts me off...

Cool! Given its elasticity, do you have any problems with the watch head flopping around or otherwise feeling loose?

I’m sooooooo tempted. Ive seen less pricey alternatives like the following, have no idea how different the quality is, but like that the MN Strap is made to measure.

None at all, though I've only worn it for a couple hours. I like my straps loose. Wearing it loose (or not tight) still keeps it "snug" on my wrist.

Thanks for this link. I was exploring other options too and found a few on AliExpress. Here’s one - https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/F90RmO4

Erika’s Originals strap

I have seven of them (two 20 mm, two 21 mm and three 22 mm) in various colors, however none with numbering. Hands down my favorite straps. Very comfortable, secure, good looking and truly infinitely adjustable. Pricey, but the quality is unimpeachable. One of those simple designs that hits the mark, and has value despite the price. I use them mostly on Tudor BB, Seikos, Omega PO, IWC fleigers, etc. I don't like to take bracelets off of my Rolexes.

Love Erika’s MN straps. I recently purchased my third and this one has a glow in the dark stripe.



The strap has a bit of elasticity to it, allowing the wearer to snug it up.

Not a fan on the BLNR but looks amazing on these as the case is better suited. Beautiful watches Dan. The Marathon and Sinn are pretty cool pieces.
