Why does the website state that the price excludes the spring bar tool? Have you now got to order one separately and pay extra for it?

That's a particularly nice one; I only wish they did the black 20mm strap you get with the Speedy in 22mm.
I have to say I would be inclined to buy a cheap £10 Nato to see if I liked the look/feel before spending £130 on one. I personally love the look of a Nato in pictures, but on the wrist I don’t like the watch being held off the wrist by the strap, and on most watches the way the strap bends over the springbars looks clumsy to me. I don’t find them any more comfortable than other strap types (and I’ve tried plenty of brands) and the way they stay wet for ages and stretch when damp is a dealbreaker for me. I think everything in the watch world has become insanely overpriced in the last 5 years - but I’m amazed a strip of nylon and tiny bits of metal are being sold for £130, I imagine the production cost is about £5! - everyone is entitled to spend their money how they want but as a litmus test for overpricing I think these ‘luxury Nylon straps’ take the biscuit!

Some fairly valid points there Rob. I've never owned a NATO before but going by what others have the look and feel of the Omega one is very different than a cheap one so for my buying a cheapo and trying it, it wouldn't give me an accurate idea of what the omega would be like.
Also I've found that the Omega one doesn't really stretch when it's wet and it actually dries pretty quick too. I've worn it in the shower to test this.
I do agree with you on pricing, no doubt the Omega nato is top quality but it has to be massively over priced for what it makes to produce.
