explorer69 Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 i am looking for a good quality nato in black for my 1016, any tips or suggestions where to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM_ Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 @explorer69, if you are in Europe I would browse cheapestnatostraps.com I own a few basic nato and regimental straps from there and the quality seems pretty fair to me. And they're ridiculously cheap. I'm actually looking for a nice Nato for my new TC Sub myself, anyone have some beautiful pictures of your watch with a Nato on?

netniet Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I had one of these very nice Suede Nato straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've got a NATO from Corvus, which I think only came in a couple of variations- Standard NATO and RAF in grey and Bond colors. It's a good, durable strap... Does it's job very well and looks good. But it's only a temporary means for the time being... Also have some straps from WestCoastime... Good and cheap. Lots of colors available... And perhaps a bit softer than the Corvus strap. But I think the Corvus may be more true to a Military NATO... At least, that's what they advertised...

AM_ Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Any owners of both tss and timefactors can enlighten which seems highest quality? I am hunting for the "best" black on black strap to go with a TC 16610LN v5 Looking at these atm: http://www.watchworx.co.uk/images/Military/G10PVD1.jpg and http://www.timefactors.com/images/pvdnato-5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 If yo u are in the CONUS this is a good source, I've bought several straps from them. Unfortunately, they only ship within the CONUS http://www.broadarrow.net/maratac.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 If you have smaller wrists like I do, I've found the quality of Timefactors NATOs to be noticeably better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explorer69 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 lhooq, i do have small wrists. which model of timefactors do you mean? dou you prefer 18 or 20mm for the 1016 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're trying to be James Bond, there's no sense in using an under-sized strap. Regarding leather, the best leather NATO I've ever owned is from RWG member mcotter: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoever Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Try Jan. I've bought from him before. Excellent work as well:http://www.jankoxxx.eu i gave it a try, communication with Jan is spotless until now, my nato should be shipped tomorrow.

dbane883 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 i gave it a try, communication with Jan is spotless until now, my nato should be shipped tomorrow. Horween shell cordovan is the best quality leather you can buy. Plus it's the only leather that can be thin enough for NATO style. Good luck. I'm placing another order with Jan today as well.
