Reply With QuoteI'm always a fan of Admiralty Grey Phoenix straps on these watches
First, I'm very pleased/impressed with this watch. Quality and spec for the price are tremendous, the time keeping when left dial up overnight is inside 1 sec per 24hrs. With the bracelet immediately removed and a heli tape caseback protector duly fitted I only had an old sand Nato to put it on, which looks ok IMHO. I would have really liked one each of Eddie's Coyote Brown and YAB (Yet Another Bond) Natos, but they are both 20mm only :-( . Fast forward a few days and I've now got a grey from Eddie and a Bondesque red/grey/black from Ukwatchstraps. I'm still pondering over Haveston canvas, 1.2mm nylon seems to suit this case very well.
F.T.F.A.

Me too, on most watches. What about one of Karl's (senraw) custom blue ones? I've got them in a couple of sizes and they're excellent.

If something like this was available, it would rarely be off my wrist.
Why oh why did I have to be born with a pathological hatred of date windows?
Oh yes, sand NATO for me!

Watch Obsession premium NATO, not the seatbelt one, but this one:

I have a couple on my CWC Divers and I love the comfort and the buckle is a step up over a standard NATO. Loads of diffrent colours as well.
But on the PRS-68 I'd prefer a rubber strap of the Uncle Seiko waffle variety
The major issue I have with these is the length. I have 8 3/4 inch wrists and the strap gets nowhere near the second keeper whereas there’s still just enough on a CWC - and most other NATO’s - to tuck under.Watch Obsession premium NATO, not the seatbelt one, but this one:

I'd love to put mine on a waffle silicone/rubber strap but I've not been able to find one at 18mm. Hence I've not taken it off the bracelet.
A pair of Haveston canvas straps arrived this morning, along with a very nice canvas 4 watch storage roll.
It has to be said that 8 3/4 is not an average size wrist. You must struggle with leather straps as well?
I know what you mean about the CWC/Phoenix NATOs. They're the longest straps I own.
That is true, however the watch obsession are the shortest NATO’s I own, and I own a few!
I do struggle with leather - the best option for me seems to be ‘too long rubber straps made for divers’ - they fit me perfectly!

A Forecastle was my first choice for this watch, but they were on backorder until about now which is why I bought the pair above, and the Forecastle's been put back another month. As I wanted to order a strap roll and a spare 20mm M-1918C I popped an 18mm on the order too to get the 10% discount.
