If Carlsberg made NATO straps....

.... they wouldn't be as good as Eddie's.

Material, fittings and length are perfection.

I have found the edges of the keepers a tad sharp. Well, sharp enough to need filling down to take the edges off. Apart from that, they are the absolute best.

Also, the keepers are solid-metal circles. I have ruined a strap (trying to get one off)... thinking that it was folded metal.

Unfortunately they aren’t the perfect length for me - I wish they were 20-25mm longer.

Love the straps, hate the keepers.

Strange isn't it, I love the keepers!

I like the keepers too and the buckle. They are even better once they have been in the wash.

I think that they are very good indeed.

I would but them on a par with Phoenix NATO's.

Both suit some watches better than the other. I much prefer my CWC RN Diver on its original Phoenix where as a G10 suits either...and so on.

Ive got a grey one on my PRS18Q and Im going to order a gren, brown and black when the shop opens next.
I could do with them being a bit longer but they just about tuck back into the first keeper so I can live with that, especially for the price.
Im going to get a retro rubber for it too.
Cheers,
