I’m out of my mind with this Combo…
But I think I dig this green alcantara strap on my NSA 
It seems to hold up well in water, its already survived two days in the pool with no problems, not sure about salt water though. ( I’ll see after my Hawaiian holiday in a few months)
Some quick iPhone pics.
Thanks for looking
Drew
Looks like a winning combo, Drew
I think it looks great. Great that you are giving it some time in its natural element, too.
All best,

Thanks Respo...
I typically don’t swim with any of my luxury dive watches (I have G-shocks for this purpose) but I couldn’t resist testing out the strap.

It looks great my friend.
I'll bet that it is also very comfortable. I hope it holds up to sea water, a post that we will all look forward to readong in the future.
The original straps on the NSA are really crap don't you think (Personal joke).
I personnally will keep on wearing my rubber articulated bracelet that is just wonder full.

I actually like the look of the OEM strap George…
however I do LOVE the way the watch looks on articulated rubber strap a lot.
I believe it will hold up in salt water but I’m sure its not a great material for prolonged exposure in sea water.

Yes, Drew!
One of your home made strap?
Love the combo, definitely.
And the alcantara looks very nice, certainly very comfortable, too.
Winning combo, for me.
Best,
Nicolas.
Yap..
another home made special
This green alcanatra is indeed supremely comfortable, its actually thinner then the material I used on my black strap. I believe the thinner alcantara is typically used for headliners and the thicker ones are utilized in heavier traffic area such as car seats, arm rest, etc.
I do prefer the feel of the black thicker material, its stiffer with a great soft feel to them that conforms to the wrist and also more are durable.
Thanks for the kind words Nicolas.

With pleasure.. Avec plaisir .. Your joy prevailing (for wearer & spectator) !! ::)) (nt)
I wouldnt say its a dive strap but it held up well ...
on a few days in a pool so far, It does get wet but it seems to dry rapidly . I used nylon thread and waterproof adhesive to put together.
Thanks
Drew
Alcantara strap! Sweet!
I've got that on my car seats. Love the feeling. I bet it's comfy as hell.
Looks like a great combo, Drew!
And it looks very comfortable!
It reminds me that I need to get me a new strap for my NSA…
Something good for the summer!
