Can anyone recommend a source for a durable 18mm leather NATO strap? I need one for my Citizen Garrison. I bought a cheap one off Amazon a while back and I wasnt impressed. I dont want to spend a ton buy Id like something that will last a while.
Have you seen these? https://countycomm.com/collections/watch-bands/products/leather-zulu-1-piece-watch-straps-by-maratac I have done a lot of business with Countycomm and they are good people.
They seem to be out of stock, but a buddy is a big fan of the Kangaroo leather nato straps that Crown and Buckle has. If memory serves it's a very low stretch leather and still relatively thin.
Bought a few straps from here, https://natostrapco.com/collections/all?uff_hvsg1e_option:Size=18mm&usf_take=56 You can further narrow the choices to just leather ones.
Thanks for the tips! Has anyone tried the braided perlon straps from Crown and Buckle? Seems like they might allow very precise adjustment. I always have a hard time getting watches to fit exactly right.
That contycomm strap is the first leather watch strap I have seen that wasn't sewn. That would be super easy to make, if I had the hardware.
Thanks, but I would rather use buckle guy. https://www.buckleguy.com/ I just need to put a order together, but I have too many other things going right now.
