Hard time finding 21MM NATO for 216570
Anyone have any luck finding a solid NATO for a 216570 explorer II??
Most I’m finding are all even numbers. Has anyone fitted a 22mm successfully? If so can you post pics? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have a few natos from C&B. They're fine. That link is their "supreme" line. I'm not sure what makes those different from their normal natos. They should have those in 21mm as well though.

Half a millimeter either side is so negligible that there is no point in searching for 21, instead try the abundantly available 22. I have plenty of 22mm natos on my expII and they fit just fine with no folding nor are they unsightly

Omega makes some high quality 21mm NATOs but they're pricey. Also take a look at WatchGecko. Middling quality but good prices and lots of choices.

Look at cheapestnatostraps: https://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/c...12482725970019
I personally never tried their seatbelt NATO straps, but heard good things about them straps. I pesonally have a couple of their premium straps as well as leather straps and while not amazing by any stretch of imagination, I don't have complaints with them either and prices are good especially if you get 5 straps for 20% off or use code "welcomeback" for 15% off if you get less straps. I do have to say that I haven't bought straps from them for almost 2 years and people say their quality might have gone down over time. Additionally I heard their shipping isn't great to US/Canada so consider it a factor. |

I've got a C&B "Supreme" that I keep on my Speedy most of the time and I love it. It's comfortable and high quality (finishing is great) and I prefer it to the Omega NATO by a wide margin.

1mm is not noticeable unless you go down in size. Stick with 22mm.

They don’t make 21mm typically. Get a 22

But, I don’t agree with the nato suggestions given. You should honestly try the blushark premium nato, they’re extremely soft and amazing quality and, I have tried manyyyyy brands, trust me.
