I beg your forgiveness Oh Mighty Strap Maker! Awesome choices in materials, I think I might have to do the unthinkable and sell one of my watches now for this new rep...
He might be late to the party, but if he didn't post this question, I might not have seen this option for a looooooooooong time! So kudos to Jeff!
Now to take a look see... BTW, I started looking at the post you referenced freddy and I can't tell you how much I appreciate finally finding a strap like that, thanks.
I was sooooo close to telling you how awesome you are until I noticed something, you're missing the two most important straps of all: Shark and Stingray! Now, some might say that mesh would be the third, but I'm letting that one slide since this is a leather strap thread....
As far as the NATO goes, I'd get a wider strap. I can't remember the size but even if it's a mm wider it'll fit just fine. Better than one that's too short.
Interesting post from a new member. I've seen plenty of posts from established members that are quite the opposite from this experience. I haven't dealt with him personally, but always do my homework when looking to do business with a dealer. I have a very hard time believing that any dealer would send a watch in "pieces," especially WCHK.
