Having decided to try my LV on a grey Nato (I have a selection of Eddies but the grey is just too light for the watch IMHO) I ordered a Phoenix Admiralty grey via Amazon last week.
The strap arrived very quickly but as to the quality - in comparison to Eddies I'm seriously underwhelmed!
The weave is finer and initially I was very impressed. However, between the holes it has started to go a bit 'fluffy' already and the strap is so thin the end I fold over keeps slipping out of the keeper (unless I fold it so its longer than you need to on Eddies version)
Also the steel hardware is very poorly finished in comparison. It's a real shame as the colour and finer weave look great but I just can't see myself using the strap as it irritates me how poorly made it is (marked clearly as phoenix on the buckle and looks identical to Internet pics I've seen so sure it's genuine) - anyone else had the same issue?!
