Here's the latest strap from David [dmh]. Gray leather from authentic German flight jackets w/ kangaroo lining.

Looks great on vintage pieces.

Dan, eine deutsche bewachung fühlt das zuhause tragen des aus der deutschen lederflugjacke gemachten riemens.

Ein sehr nettes paar.

I'll have to take your word for it.

That's a perfect match

I have been dipped into German culture for the past week or two since I've started working with colleague in Germany.

New addition to the Nylon Nation - late 60's 1680 Submariner. I love the looks and simplicity of nylon and it saves me from having to resize the 9315 bracelet...

Looks great, perfect combo.

Has anyone given their thoughts on which NATO they like the best? I have several so I thought I would opine on them a bit...

The RLT NATOs out of England are probably the toughest of mine. I quite like them, although they are a bit thinner than most they seem to wear the best. I also like the thin, low-profile hardware.

The Timefactors NATO strap is very comfortable and has lots of holes so a good fit is easy to accomplish. The brushed hardware is nice looking too. The downside for me is the keeper strap is oversized (for larger watches it is a plus but I'm not a fan of large watches) and the green strap is a bit too lime colored.

The Maratac NATO I don't care for much. The seams are sewn (instead of heat-welded as the MOD specifies) and they don't seem as sturdy as my other straps. My Bond had a tiny tear in it within a day.

I have two leather ones, a brown and a blue which I thought I'd wear on my blue Tudor sub. I tried it on and took it back off within an hour, I thought it felt too thick and ungainly.

My favorite is an 18mm olive colored one that came with my little CWC watch. It is perfect - tough, comfortable and not too thick or thin. I wish I knew who made it, I'd love to get a 20mm one.

In his current state I dought if he would have even known his watch was gone

Nylon saves the day

He looks like he has bigger problems than his watch....

Folks,

I just received my two NATOs from David Hawley @ http://www.natostrap.blogspot.com/.

Firstly thank you Dan Pierce for introducing to all of us via this post to David, truly a remarkable person, very accomodative and even wrote me a personal note... ordered past Saturday 11/28 and I have them in California on 11/30. Truly a great person!

I like woven nylon watch straps(they're on other watches)...I prefer my Expls. on the oyster band...but if I didn't have the oyster band, they'd be on nylon!!!! I prefer the "Zulu" style.......and since my attire is primarily black, grey & white, I like black & "Bond" stripe straps.
