I understood... a modern version of it might be still for sale from Rolex GB... but another person told me it isn't anymore...

Fact is... for me these are the best Nato straps!!!

I was on a quest for the original MOD admiralty grey strap a few years ago. I bought a couple straps exactly like the one pictured in the link from a shop in Clerkenwell (London). James Dowling turned me onto the shop but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it. When I pressed James, he couldn't remember either. I think I can find it next time in the area tho.

Yes, I believe Phoenix still supplies the MoD. They can be bought on Ebay.
