I'm not sure if I totally understand your post, but ZULUs tend to be MORE bulky/thicker than NATOs.
I prefer the one piece vs the 2 piece because of the safety reasons (1 piece keeps your watch on even if 1 spring bar breaks) and also for the ease of swapping (a 1 piece you just slide on and off with the spring bars on vs a 2 piece you will have to remove the spring bars each time to put through the strap.) I've found ebay user HolbensFineWatches (or something like that) to sell very high quality ZULUs also, Ive heard these places sell great quality ZULUs http://www.tripleaughtdesign.com/ http://www.gregstevens-design.com/ny...lu-straps.html Hope that helps, good luck! |

With the "Maratac" brand.....their solid color fabric on their ZULU style strap...whatever model ZULU....is thicker than their fabric on their solid color NATO style strap.
The exception are their Bond stripes, it's lighter-weight fabric, akin to their NATO solid color fabric. Try one....what have you got ZULUS? (sorry couldn't resist)

20mm lug width for most Rolex sport watches, the DSSD is 21mm.

I do the Nato in the summer heat, never tried Zulus.
Some past posts have mentioned the Zulus being too thick for the tight fit between spring bars and case of the 14060+16610 Subs. Do not know how accurate this is, but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. |
