I got myself a 20mm strap from member Senssi, and it's served me well, but the problem is that my Seiko uses 22mm lugs and my MoonWatch needs a black strap, like the velcro one used by Buzz. That's Aldrin, not Lightyear ...

So, I found a UK shop online that sells what look like amazing NATO straps. I must say, I have to recommend them as amazing and cheap.

This is the Pass-around Watch on the original 20mm Bond NATO.

Very nice as usual.
I'm waiting for a 20mm nato for my Bell & Ross, should be pretty sweet.

Also i'm waiting for light-tent.
I'm getting hooked on this photography stuff.

Nice natos.

I have a few Zulus on different watches, just recently got some 24mm wide ones. Very comfortable.

With nato type straps it's good to know if one pin goes, the watch is still hanging on by the other.

Totally agreed. I have yet to see a decent NATO strap. Zulus are infinitely better, albeit a bit bulkier. Some dislike the added bulkiness due to the much beefier harware. I am wearing my blackwater on a 4-ring Zulu right now. The NATO that it came was replaced right away.

yikes NATO G10 should only run US$10 or less, Zulu's can be had at US$16 and they are so much better than NATO spec'd G10's all stainless hardware, ballistic nylon web, etc.

Well, that's one opinion ... and this is another:

I like NATO straps, and these ones are very good.
