Omega Nato Replica - PhenomeNato

[Mr.JC]

Hey guys, I was looking into getting the Bond Nato from Phenomenato (after hearing many good things!), but I'm not too sure whether I should go for the 20mm or 22mm version? I've got a SPC300 rep, and I'm not sure which would fit it better considering that the lug width is about 21mm? Thanks guys!

Get the 22mm, that way you avoid the unsightly gap.

Ordered mine a few days ago. I really hope it lives up to the hype because I own an OEM Nato and it's head and shoulders above any other NATO I've tried. I was genuinely shocked when I tried the OEM for the first time. Pretty much everyone says the Phenome is phenomenal so there's got to be something to it. I went with the Bond since my OEM is the black.

I ordered mine on the 16th of August and it has not arrived yet! What kind of lead time there is on this strap? Are they flooded by orders?

That's not good... You should contact them. I heard they take forever but usually its around a month. I think you ordered it just before they went on vacation so that might be why. I wasn't able to put in my order until they reopened the site.

A month means another 2 weeks then.

That's a long time without wearing the new watch! Sigh..

My PhenomeNato needed something about 6 weeks. So this is absolut normal.

I have just been told that the order is 2 weeks delayed. It will be shipped middle of September, likely to arrive around the 20th of September!

I have a hard time finding a nice thick/heavy nato strap. most are the thin cheap versions you find on ebay.

Blushark straps are not bad. The alpha straps they sell are the seatbelt type material. The orca line is fairly heavy also. Good hardware on them. I can post a few pics later.

Here's a Blu Shark alpha, their premium line, black with gray edges. Very soft seatbelt material.

This one is from their orca line.

Nice straps indeed! However if someone need the Omega colour feeling of the Bond NATO, then phenomenato is the way to go...

this is the rep Nato from puretime. thousand times better than the included strap, but not that smooth. i dont have a phenomenato to compare, but if i would buy again i guess i would go for the pheno

This is the gen and I'd say that is pretty close ,plus it has the omega branding which the phenom doesn't

It doesn't look that bad to be honest. I have the PhenomeNato and I do wish I had the ability to affix the proper keepers on it.

Thats true, it looks Really good, didnt compared the color, the Optical Finish is nice. But its a bit rigid and could be smoother. Would be a good Value for about 40 bucks in my opinion

 

[Alhig72]

It'll soften up a bit with some wear , my gen one is nice and soft but that's because they're made in a magic castle by fairies , thats how they justify the 200 quid price tag

Standard will be sufficient for most people.

Completely off topic, but your signature gif is pure heaven. Kang Yebin should be appearing more often here.
