    Cheapest Nato Straps - recommended

    Just received my order from CNS.
    They have some big discounts just now, and an additional amount off if you order 5.
    So I got a ribbed Nato, 2 adjustable single pass ones, one fixed one and an elastic NDC type strap, all for under £35. No import tax as a result too.
    The quality is great, and the ribbedNato looks epic on my MN22.

    Glad to hear it went well. I bought from them twice, first order was great, and exceptional value too.

    The second, recent order never arrived. I contacted them and asked them to look into it - and they said it had been returned to them from a US transport hub and promised to send it again. After that I heard nothing, and they ceased to reply to further enquiries... I'll not deal with them again.

    That's rubbish. But a US transport hub? My order came from Germany.

    I read reviews that were really 50/50 - mainly around orders never arriving.

    I took a punt a couple of months back and they came within a week - I think from Germany as Sweets says.

    Great straps and great price.

    A mixed bag in my experience ... leather straps not great (apart perhaps from the single pass, which looks fabulous but is very thin) however I am a huge fan of their velcro diver straps. Have about 12 LOL

    I’ve used them a few times with no issues so far. Their ribbed NATO’s are probably my favourite natos right now and excellent value. Noticed Watchgecko have now started copying the ribbed ones but asking more than double the price

    I've bought from them 2-3 times and was fully satisfied.

    What size wrist do you have out of interest? I bought one of their Velcro diver straps and it seems very short on my 7” wrist - I can just about close the hook & loop by perhaps an inch at best (it’s been a while since I tried it) but not enough I have faith in it being secure. Not very happy with it at all really as it’s unwearable as-is IMO.

    That's interesting - my first order came from the US, I wonder if they've set-up some kind of satellite operation in Germany to get round the issues they've evidently had?

    Just bought a 22mm single pass leather,as you say thin so not brilliant for a heavier watch head,but okay for a titanium.
