jex Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi guys, I would like to know if it's possible to find online an OEM nato strap for my BB? Otherwise is it possible through a Rolex Dealer? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferristara Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I like to know that too.... I´ve ordered the blue bomber strap from strappedfortime for my blue BB - sadly it´s too light in color and I can´t use it for my blue beauty..... ....so I like to use the woven OEM nato strap from Tudor.....

highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 ditto. got a blue bay coming home $100 aint too bad. still a rip off though. supposedly hand made in france closest i could find on ebayhttp://www.ebay.ca/itm/22mm-Premium-Nylon-Military-Watchband-Watch-Strap-Navy-Blue-/281189245777?pt=US_Watch_Bands&hash=item41782f6351 its a 1 piece nato. but you can cut it and sew the ends to make them proper 2 piece straps heres a 2 piece with incorrect buckles http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-Piece-3-Ring-Ballistic-Military-Nylon-Replacement-Watch-Strap-Band-for-PANERAI-/201116089726?pt=US_Watch_Bands&var=500286535406&hash=item2ed373fd7e i believe the gen is a fabric strap and nato are nylon i will probably end up with one of these 2 straps mentioned in the links above this tutorial here shows how to trim nato straps for size and also mod them into 2 piece straps http://www.stefanv.com/watches/turn-a-nato-strap-into-a-two-piece-watch-strap.html just to confirm, it IS a 22mm strap for sure? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferristara Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 $100 for gen, OK a gimme go for it. WOW..... I wonder about the price difference - here in Europe it´s 140 € for the GEN, that´s approx 75 $.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pontiaddict Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) ditto. got a blue bay coming home $100 aint too bad. still a rip off though. supposedly hand made in france <respectfully snipd> just to confirm, it IS a 22mm strap for sure? Nice choices here and the link to the tutorial was quite helpful, have you by chance tried searching for the distressed leather band also? interested if you might have found something close to the gen. Also wishing to confirm the size issue... Edited August 11, 2014 by Pontiaddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezio Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Well wasnt 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiaddict Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) 55-70 is quite reasonable if it closely duplicates the gen. Personally I prefer the look of the watch on a bracelet, but wearing any watch I prefer a leather band w deployment... desk diving makes a mess of a SS bracelet. I will be ordering the V2 at PT it looks tremendous I just wanted to rest assured I could obtain the alternate strap. Thanks for the helpful posts.

ferristara Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I´ve bought a brand new black one at ebay a couple of days ago for a phantastic low price - it´s normally for the TUDOR Heritage Advisor , but looks really nice IMO.....
