Thanks Alex, looks nice indeed especially this black one!
Is it easy to attach? Do you use it a lot?
Thanks!

Yup - I haven't made the change on the subC...just love the bracelet too much. But did on the GMT2C before I flipped it.

As for making the change - I use a Bergeon 6111 Spring bar tool....works like a charm. Very easy.

Here are some pics:

Thanks guys

Will post a photo of the tool I used but it was just a minature screwdriver with a pointy end. It was a piece of cake and I would even do it with a safety pin, no need for expensive tools whatsoever

its abit liek de javu.... we had a same thread last week/a couple of weeks ago...

here are my 116610LN on NATO and ZULU (3 rings and 5 rings) straps...














i use a small screw driver and/or small metal tweezer to remove the spring bars - it'd be okay if you have steady hands.

the Zulus are from Time Factors (Eddie calls them Rhino straps). the NATOs were from someone on the "bay"

not often at all - i still prefer the bracelet for now.
here is a wrist pic taken when i received the straps, hence the "stiff" over loop. (it looks abit weird in the pic )

i'm sure it will soften up abit after soaking in warm water and more wear.
i find the Zulu style straps wears better with the SubC as the Zulus are abit thicker.

Thanks mate

I know Randy (Sink) also has an orange strap - I had a look at timefactors - and their orange PVD Rhino..looks good - but they're closed until the 18th

Like the idea -

I am not a fan of the maxi case's fat lugs. But, I have to admit with the black NATO the lugs do not stand out as they do with the SS bracelet.

The black NATO looks good.
