I put my Dynamic on a perlon last week and I love it. It is so easy to adjust to get a perfect fit and super comfortable on the wrist.

Had my Ranger on a perlon for a while, although now on rubber.
Very comfy though.

Just in case anyone here knows.
What is the origin of the "perlon" strap?
And why are they called that? As far as I know Perlon is a trade name for a type of Nylon. How did it get applied to a type of weave and buckle arrangement?
Because it’s made from Perlon? (The clue is in the name!)Quote:

I'm interested in the origin of the design. If you don't have anything to contribute on that front, there's no real reason to reply.
And relax....Quote:

Actual perlon has some quite magical properties that make it suitable for watch straps, though surprisingly softness isn’t one of them.
That colour really suits the sub. Will have to try one on my Tudor sub. Is it Eulit?Quote:

The origin of the braided (Perlon) nylon strap?
But I've also read that the design originated with the British army in the 60s.
Thanks, it’s a Zuludiver from watchgeckoQuote:

So you can enjoy the same watch in two different sizes. http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/t...tongue0009.gifQuote:

76100 on a cheap watch obsession Perlon but I find it comfortable. Definitely plan on trying Eulit in the near future.
