I just received my '82 but instead of finding the blue nato there was a silver-grey one instead? Has anyone else received one of these instead of the expected blue? Maybe Eddie ran out and had to substitute? If this is the case I'll gladly send the grey one back since I really like that blue..

OK thanks Eddie..
..no worries at all..the watch has exceeded my expectations & the dial finishing is absolutely superb as it is overall..I had been considering a Tudor Black Bay but no longer!Originally Posted by swanbourne

I received mine with grey strap. First thing I was going to do is switch straps but rubber strap brilliant so going to keep it on this one for wee while longer.
Mine is still happily sat on the rubber it came on as well. Been a constant wearer since it arrived.
Mine too. I usually dislike rubber straps but this watch on the rubber seems like a perfect combination.
Same here and its also not too long for me!
I hope these will be for sale individually and not just as part of a watch purchase. I love the TF nato straps, the only drawback is a lack of different colors.
A subtle hint: as far as I know no one makes a blue Bond with khaki stripes. Corner the market while you can!
Not a Bond but I have bought one like this: -
As for the fact that Eddie is including a NATO with a watch that isn't included as part of the sales details, I'd say that is another example of the value that Time Factors watches are and the thought that goes into them.
I have a few of the TF Natos and they are excellent quality.
That's bloody typical of Eddie. Not supplying you with something he didn't say he would be supplying you with (and for free at that) is disgraceful.
I shall be giving away all my TF watches in protest and making a Direct Debit out to Christopher Ward.
That is what I think too.
ROFL!
It is difficult for me to tell on my monitor but if the lighter stripe is khaki that would work fine. :) I have a black and khaki one with the same pattern that I wear quite often.Not a Bond but I have bought one like this: -
May I ask where you got it?
I cannot recall who I bought mine from but they only sold this one strap; however, these people sell the same one: http://www.triwa.com/en/straps/blue-stripe-nato
Hmmmm, £20 for a NATO? That's given me an idea...

Thanks for the info.
They do seem proud of them!
Have a look here: link.
It's got twin stripes and the colours translate as light blue & beige, but it's the only brown on blue that I've found. Probably the light blue will put you off...
[Edit] Also found here: link; and here: link. It seems they are more common than I first thought.

I have this strap and wear it quite often - absolutely love it. It matches with a light blue oxford cloth shirt and khakis very well.
I wear khaki dockers most days and am on the lookout for a strap that has than same hue of khaki. Surprisingly, no one seems to make them. I have a light brown strap from monkeyswag I like but it too is a bit too dark.
Got this strap for free with my PRS 82 but this will never be on my wrist.
So if you have a 82 and don't have the blue strap PM me and it will be posted monday.
Not if I buy all the striped NATOs at Cousins for £1.75 each first.
Any sign of them turning up yet, please, Eddie? I keep looking to see if they've appeared on your site...but no luck so far.

I have about 470 of them at the moment but don't have time to put them on the site. The last few PRS-82 have been delivered with a blue NATO. Did I mention that the coyote brown and Seafire NATOs are due this week?Any sign of them turning up yet, please, Eddie? I keep looking to see if they've appeared on your site...but no luck so far.

Thanks for the update Eddie. Having visited the site over the past week, I knew you were busy and something like this might be the case...then your straps section returned, so I thought I would ask about them.
You did mention that a coyote brown version was due to appear, but I must have missed it if you gave the Seafire a mention.
I'll check back sometime next week and see what has appeared as my wanted list is growing.

Hang on... if there is a Seafire NATO, does that mean there is a Seafire watch to thread it too as well in the offing?
You may think that but I couldn't possibly comment.

You tease... This is an exciting development!
Are we looking at early 2014? Something to spend all the money from our Christmas cards on?!!
If so - wow. This was only designed in August.
Thanks for that!
Go on Eddie tell us - pretty please.
