Well, yesterday I received my black Zulu in the mail, and after some advice, I got in on my pepsi GMT. It was really tight so I had to put one springbar in then place the Zulu then squeeze in the other. It was a pain and I thought that there must be something I could do to make the change easier next time. Today I went to my local AD and they gave me some smaller (thinner) springbars so now the Zulu can easily fit between the case and the springbar. It fits fantastic and of course, the comfort is amazing. It is just nice not to be stuck wearing a bracelet all the time. I am going to keep the bracelet on my other GMT II "coke", so I can go back and forth between the two when I want. I personally prefer 3 ring Zulu's to Nato's, I just don't like the extra hardware on the sides of the strap.

Just a side note, they had a SDDS in the case and I wore it for a few minutes, insane pretty much sums it up...HUGE, almost silly it's so think. They also had a regular SD and I could not help but to think that Rolex made a enormous mistake when they changed a perfect watch to that thing (SDDS).

Here are some pics I took today....

Those were my exact thoughts as well when I tried one on. I so wanted to love it but after trying it on & seeing it in the flesh I couldn't even bring myself to like it. Different strokes for different folks.

Regarding your new strap, looks comfortable...definitely adds another level of versatility.

Looks good to me, Where can I get one?

bradleyb · 7 February 2009, 07:48 AM

Nice look, Trevor. Agree with you about all the extra stuff that comes with a Nato. I am wearing my Explorer on a Sand Zulu from broadarrow.net and like the look alot. Comfortable and easy to adjust to temperature changes.

I like it Trevor. Clean lines and it tends to make the GMT stand out more.

I know what you mean about wearing a bracelet all the while. I bought a Jubilee to put on a DJ but I have left it with the strap as it looks fine and its more comfortable than a bracelet. If I want a change I just swap watches.

Thanks guys for the positive responces, it is really just a nice change. It looks different and the comfort is unmatched.

As far as were I bought it, here is a link, he sells on ebay and over at watchnet. He also has a website www.panatime.com or here is a link to watchnet. http://forums.watchnet.com/index.php...936#msg_278698

I have bough a few from broadarrow in the past and squinky on TZ. If you google zulu or nato straps you will see the places that people are generally buying from. I am also bought from Bandgirl on TZ in the past and she is great to deal with.
