Who makes the best .... Nato strap!

[radiohead101]

Hey guys

So who makes the best NATO straps? I've ordered a couple from Watchbandgirl, and they seem decently nice, but I was curious if there are any much nicer ones out there? Some that don't feel like such cheap fabric.

Thank you

The suppliers to the military make the best but only in 18mm, a member did a full break down a while ago on all nato straps if you have a search for it, BTW if you want and 18mm (as all issued straps are 18mm today) drop me a PM

I have a NATO G10 from Watchworx, it's a great strap. I also have a Rhino from Eddie at Timefactors which is much thicker. I like them both.

personally i like the martac/zulu version of the nato best.

i've found the thin edge of the fabric on the real nato straps cut into my wrist?

and i think the thicker material and beefier hardware on the martc version just looks better on a big watch

i get mine from bob at MWR:

Can anyone compare these to the ones from watchbandgirl? I have one from hers, and they look decent, but the strap feels like thick paper basically. It's pretty crummy.

Incredible write-up. I am not sure how I missed it the first time, but thanks for the link.

Dunno who makes them but those sold by Timefactors in UK are top quality. Contact Eddie Platts @ timefactors.com. His associated forum is TZ-UK.com and it's a great gen watch resource.

if you are in the UK you might want to try RLTwatches, he has a very fast service and takes a number of payment options one being paypal, he supplies regimental nato straps to a lot of the military shops. And at 8 quid you cant go wrong.

I second Timefactors, beadblasted stainless fittings, not the cheapest but top quality
