Valid point, it’s is a different look for sure, than normal straps

Like the sail cloth, or another strap.
Not entirely sure how I feel about it in the aggregate, the bulk of it is def a negative, gonna chew on it.

Mokarran - Strap #4 Tropic NATO

Getting there, I caved and also bought the ceramic hardware and older NATO from the boutique, $$$$. Guess I am not servicing any more watches this year. ...

Appreciate your opinion Sire.

What direction you think I should be going? Maybe stick to OEM NATO, my wife seems to love the OEM NATO and does not like any of the funky straps I bought. She thought the green leather was a good color, maybe not the best materials. Guess, sometimes, you...
I agree with your wife

I love a good strap change as much as the next. I only wear watches on straps and used to change straps on my pieces constantly (like multiple times a day sometimes). These days, I try strap after strap, but once I find THE strap then pretty much I stick ...
This is good analysis Sire....

Maybe I continue my search to try to prove my wife wrong, that I can find a good aftermarket strap. It is not working LOLOLOL Well I just went broke buying the OEM NATO with the ceramic hardware, if that is not better than the plain NATO, I'll slap myself...
I think you made the right call!

Pricey but it will look fantastic. Can’t wait to see a photograph of it. IMHO that is the strap it should have come with from the start!
hahaha, that's hilarious, "NATO militia."

I love that term, however, I am going to try to be careful with the word "militia." Sensitive times these days Sire, sensitive times.
You don’t need to go high end.

If Greg Stevens or Micah (Vintager Straps) are still working those guys I can vouch for. I bought numerous straps from them over the years (for Panerais, IWCs etc). Style is more tool watch, but you do have yourself a tool watch there so perhaps there’s s...
Hmmmmhhhh....

I personally found the green sail cloth better. IMHO. Not sure about this strap style with all these holes. The colour of this dial is wonderful. Best Thomas
Dear Doctor - listen to this..

I saw a “used,” yes used, OEM black NATO with ceramic listed for 1200. I called the boutique, as of now, all NATOs, old and new model are $230. The ceramic kit, priced now is, around $450. I think the hardware is 50% off because it is going to be discount...
Got it Sire, did buy the black BlancPain rubber so

Hopefully that will be good, spent good money on that. 😬😬😬 I don’t think they will ever make the green Iso again in 24mm, black is available in 24mm, but not green. 😟😟😟
