Go Patriots NATO exp II

Just got this NATO strap from Crown and Buckle, was given a gift card. Very nice quality and fast shipping they also sell spring bars and a tool to change out the straps. Looking forward to wearing this to the big game Sunday! One thing I did notice was that the "fat" spring bars I got seem to move around a little and their site mentions they are 0.7mm end tips anyone think that is too small for this watch?

heard back from crown and buckle very quickly,

"Well, the fat spring bars would work with the watch. They just decrease the amount of room you have between the spring bar and the watch case, which could cause some rubbing with thicker straps. I would just stick to the Rolex spring bars, they are superb quality."

So looks like its best to use the factory spring bars.
