Afternoon all,

I finally got a vintage explorer i had been looking for, for ages. Anyways the bracelet is 78350 stamped 557 on end links.

My question is what size nato should i get? I know the end size is 19mm, but i have read a few forums and seems 19mm nato maybe to small. Some say get 20mm size.

Anybody able to tell me what size to get and best place to buy them, ideally uk.

Regards
James

20mm - the best quality natos I have found are from blushark. However, only the “alpha” is the best, oddly the higher priced premium is less quality than the medium priced alpha...

I have just bought some NATO straps.

The best ones I bought online from APB in Paris (France) They were delivered within 4 days.

I have also bought some from Watchobsession.co.uk but they were quite inferior in quality.

Bark&Jack also have good quality straps

I like Toxic nato straps, the basic kind.
