    I don't recognise the strap - where'd you find it?
    It's a Strapsco retro silicone. Quick release spring bars.

    As I haven't worn this in a while so I set it last night and put it on.
    It was strange as somehow it seemed smaller than I remembered so much so I went and checked the specifications.
    I put it on a black NATO at first but it seemed to somber so I changed it to this one.

    By far and away the most flamboyant strap I've ever bought, but still, not quite as OTT as the shiny one it came on.

    Not the most well-finished strap in the world but I like the brown leather / green canvas combo.

    I bought this lovely little O&W Cougar off sc earlier this year, unfortunately it was faulty on arrival (seller offered a refund if I wanted it)
    It's taken until today to get it back from the watchmaker, repaired .
    So it's been treated to a RIOS 1931 croc print calf stra with a Hirsch deployment clasp
    I think it looks quite good , the strap picking up on the dial details
    should be good for a great many years now!

    SNXS77, but 19mm lugs, not so common.
    Single pass strap from "cheapestnatostraps".
    Feels very good and nice and stable!

    Wanted to try something different on my FF so went a bit crazy with some cheap NATO’s

    Thanks to Robsmck for the recommendation as Blancpain have a very small gap between the case and the spring bar

    Here’s the different colours I’ve bought



    My plan is to try a different colour every couple of days. First up is grey

    That grey works really well, great first choice. The black and grey stripe is my goto for the ff.

    this might divide opinion,but i am starting to like it .my first hairy watch strap: speedy on harris tweed..

  33. #1183
    Ordered a couple of Nick Mankey hook straps which arrived today, this is his new Bond NATO.



    Got it hit with HM Customs again unfortunately but they are worth it, I think they’re the most comfortable straps I own.

    Very nice watch. They appear to be out of stock now. Does anyone know if they may be available again.

    Thanks! It’s a great watch, perhaps one of Eddie’s best. [mention]LeoR [/mention]are you the YouTuber? I do not think there are any good videos on the PRS-82. I imagine it’s hard to find an affordable dive watch with an ETA movement and such an interesting lineage nowadays.

    I'm pretty happy with this combination. Oris 65 on Erika's Original Black Ops with Sand .

    The Matt Black and Tan stitching ( Mansarea strap ) match the dial of the 425 S.L.C perfectly

    Search for Erika’s Originals, they sell elastic straps in the Marine Nationale (MN) style.
    For something similar but cheaper (and more comfy IMO) try Luff Elastico straps. Either of these straps go really well with tool watches and I personally prefer them to NATOs.
