14060M Nato / Zulu Help
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday, F1 is officially back so no complaints here .
Did some digging around in old threads but had some difficulty finding consensus. I'm trying to identify nato/zulu straps that will fit a 14060M with OEM spring bars. I had an old phenomenato and Erika's MN strap handy but neither were thin enough to clear the spring bar to case gap. Anyone have any first hand experience with particularly thin nylon straps that will slide between the OEM spring bar and case on a 14060? Some accounts indicate the zuludiver 141 (purportedly 1mm thick) or maratec (~1.2mm?), but I've found conflicting information on whether these are thin enough to clear. My hope is that I can identify something that will allow me to simply slide the watch case on with spring bars installed. Thanks in advance! |

I can confirme Zulu diver straps work. 1.2mm and thinner works, but can be tight depending on if they strap is truly 1.2mm thin or not.

I find the maratac nato strap to be the thinnest of any I have tried and also very sturdy.

Good to know, and thank you for the feedback! I have yet to find any comparison of the maratac and zuludiver, but the maratac is nominally thicker so I'm inclined to try the zuludiver. That said, I wouldn't be too surprised if some of these straps aren't quite conforming to the nominal thickness dimensions. Glad to hear the maratac is, at the very least, relatively thin. |

To be more specific - Mil-NATO bands by Maratac and can be purchased at county.com for $17. 1.2mm thick. My sea dweller sd4k has such small spacing between watch and spring bar, and these are the only ones I can get to fit, and I have tried many.
Also these straps are not glamorous but probably the most durable nato on the market. |

These are quality and should fit under the spring bars just fine. |
