Really like the look of these, especially as I like the idea of Nato, just can't get away with the excess strap bulk.
Bit pricey, but hopefully more retailers will pick up idea and lower the price.

Nice hardware. Do you know where they get them from?

Thank you. The retainers look very much like the Omega ones.

Like the look of those, as you say hopefully the price will fall.

I think they'd look great on a Black Bay
Really don't need any more reasons to buy a BB though, trying to resist buying one
Hopefully they will introduce a version in black, sooner or later.
Some nice looking straps ,thanks for sharing
Looks like they've copied the Tudor method of adjustment too, which means no excess length needing to be tucked back in.
And something in 18mm.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
If anyone wants to buy me a perlon in crimson melange, it was my birthday last year
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I'm tempted by that particular range, I like all the variants however which is an issue
Group buy?

Just bought a couple for my Damasko. Will report back when I pick them up at Christmas.
Did you get Dave a Crimson Permanent Assurance?

Which model do you have? At 1.4mm they'd probably squeeze in my DC56, but be damn tight in my DA37 and probably put too much strain on the springbars for my liking. Given that I change my Natos every other day to wash them I'm also a little wary of how the stitched end will stand up to a lot of wear. All that apart I like the style and colours, the navy with the olive stripe would be my choice for the Damaskos. A 22mm khaki would do nicely for both Voyager and Everest, I already have one of their standard straps doing this job, good quality too . . .
F.T.F.A.
That's an odd omission seeing as black must be the most popular NATO/perlon colour? Maybe not, but the navy is virtually black anyway if you look at the close up.

I brought some 19mm natos from them and then got a VAT and admin charge :-(
It’ may not just be the $32 your spending
Kind of cool but to my mind you don't get the best feature of the perlon; the infinite adjustability...
Sadly, no, but I've got a couple of C&B Perlon straps and they are great, if a little short.
Found this picture, too. Must put them in my sales posts - they show off the watches well!
Was that at the checkout stage, or did it come after you bought them?
The import duty comes after.
I’d be interested to hear how the perlon straps compare to Eulit. I’ve got a grey Eulit that’s now really soft after a lot of use but I find their brown strap colour too dark and they don’t do a navy.
After…. A bill through the post

Now live on their website: 40% off their core ranges; 20% off everything else.
The order has to be worth more than £15 INCLUDING POSTAGE in order for VAT and a Royal Mail handling fee to be charged, so if you wanted a single perlon or one of the cheaper nato styles that would just about stay under the threshold, given they charge a flat $6 international postage. Everything else would be liable for 20% VAT surcharge plus £8 handling fee, assuming your order stays under £135 in value - over that and you'll be liable for import duty on top.
Just a follow up on this: thanks to Walter's pic I went ahead and ordered one of the C&B woven natos which arrived yesterday, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it.
The buckle's a bit flimsy, but the quality of the strap itself and the fact the length's adjustable are both a big plus. It's pretty versatile too imo:
Looks good. Assuming the buckle is SS, they are actually quite strong. The 'pin' probably feels loose and flimsy but it's designed that way to allow it to pierce the weave in different positions.
Can I ask when you ordered yours?Just a follow up on this: thanks to Walter's pic I went ahead and ordered one of the C&B woven natos which arrived yesterday, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with it.

I placed an order 23rd November and still hasn't arrived.
Same date - 23/11
I got a ‘shipped’ email the same day
That woven NATO looks lovely, gcleminson, especially on that Junghans.
Well, I' e got on the of the NATOs from the OP on my Damasko today, and I like it. I would say that the defining nature of a Perlon is that it has no welded holes, so this isn't that. But the adjustable length is noce, so no faffing with bending the tail over. The fabric is uniform and thick, and the metal work is good. I got stung for VAT on these, but not on an earlier order, so... ?
Hard to take photos of the back of my wrist!
Looks like they're all sold out now
