So, here we are now.. Im trying to find this strap online however am having no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction!

I don't think this is an exact match, but it's very similar.

It looks to me like it could be one of the Maratac mil series (scroll to the middle of the page):
http://www.broadarrow.net/maratac.htm And global watch band is running a sale on NATOs: http://www.globalwatchband.com/group/70/ I just ordered a couple of the ones with different color stitching. |

I know that weave and color. Unfortunately, mine is wet in this picture, but that is a MARATAC. I will see if I can get some pictures of the strap when it is dry today. No question that is a MARATAC desert sand

I have a couple that are slightly darker than the one you want.
PM me your address and I'll post one to you.

"Crown and Buckle" is another great site for NATOs.

I highly recommend Maratac bands. They are both heat bonded AND sewn. The tactical color bands are thicker then the black, Bond, etc. and the brushed steel is nice. They are manufactured and distributed by Maratac which is the trademark name of Countycomm.com. Check out their other high quality items like Embassy pens and titanium peanut lighters.

As others have said, it is definitely a Maratac 20mm in Desert Sand.
It can be purchased at BroadArrow and I have always found them to have great customer service.

just make sure you do not buy the cheap ones. If the pin is too loose and /or too short, it may slip past the buckle when twisted (if you shake your wrist quickly) and you can loose your watch...

I think the color looks like the Maratac Desert Sand, but IMO the weave doesn't look like the typical Maratac weave.
