    Strap alternatives for a delicate flower

    Wondering if anyone can recommend any super comfy NATO type straps . I’ve got really sensitive skin and have found the couple I have tried to be far too uncomfortable. Never tried Perlon and wondered if that might be a better choice. Can someone enlighten me? Many thanks!!

    good quality soft or sueded leather nato.. try jpm straps or bulang if you're feeling minted. perlon feels a bit coarser to me so if you struggle with nylon it might not work.

    For the softest leather nato, it would be extremely hard to beat Bulang
    I have tried equally pricy straps from Hodinkee but no match for Bulang and sons.

    Perlon is not confortable at all, I have one from Eulit which is supposed to be good, and even that I find it a bit harsh.

    Eulit perlon is about the most comfy there is (as opposed to wannabee 'perlons'). They need to be 'worn in' a bit. Continued wear and the occasional wash and you'll find they soften up nicely.

    I have had a scratchy Eulit Perlon too, I was disappointed, even after washing. I don't think I can be bothered to break in a cheap watch strap whose USP is to be super comfortable due to sizing flexibility when the fabric is scratchy. Might try another one day as I like the idea and they do suit some watches well.

    Rubber nato or would lack of breathability be an issue? If Ok then watchgeko have a selection.

    I have a few eulit perlins, different colours and sizes, bought from eBay direct from Germany, great prices, recommended, I like the fact there are no holes so sizing is infinite.
