I just received a couple from maratac and 3 from crownandbuckle.
Right away i noticed a significant difference in quality between these and other nato straps ive used. Between maratac and crownandbuckle, id probably lean towards the latter bc they are a tad cheaper and you have a choice of buckle types (polished, brushed, pvd), as well as a much wider color selection.
But you cant go wrong with either.

Big fan of crown and buckle.

Show me a Doctor or a Nurse that doesn't wear a watch lol. It is pretty much mandatory for almost everything we do.

If u use rings or a watch on youre wrist at a hospital u are a massive health risk

Well, I guess me and every member of my practice and just about every physician I know in my health system is a massive health risk…

That's a curious response I never met a Doc who wasn't wearing a watch

I know you are hinting towards spread of communicable diseases, any MD, Nurse, or licensed provider removes any said jewelry prior to a procedure. In your day to day communication with patients etc. there is absolutely no health risk with proper hand hygiene and care.

But this is WAYYYYY off subject from what I meant this post to be lol

Does anyone have a discount code for crown&buckle?

boywondergq1 · 30 May 2014, 07:35 AM

Another vote for Maratac.

I haven't bought from C&B in a while but there was 15% discount code. It was the name of another watch forum

Indeed, watchuseek seems to work currently.

Quick question:

What size NATO strap should I buy for my 116710LN?

I'm thinking about getting the Crown and Buckle ones.

EdwardHBLW · 1 June 2014, 01:44 AM

These are pretty damn sick...

I like to wear Perlon and Natos on my GMT if I don't want to show off too much.
I got them from WatchBandits and I can give you 20% off just use "gmtfanatic" as code.

In addition to their regular leather straps, they carry leather NATOs, regular dirt cheap (heat welded) NATOs, premium (stitched) NATOs, and then "Heavy Duty NATOs" (Zulus), in 3 and 5 ring configs.

Tons of colorways for each type, as well.

I agree, try crown and buckle.

I tried a bunch of different Natos, including Maratac, and wasn't satisfied until I found C&B Premium Nato. I have a handful of them in different colors, they are great.

Vincent65 · 10 January 2015, 02:14 AM

I use Gnomon and Crown & Buckle, mostly. And loads of others!

Any suggestions? Thanks again!

I think you may be happier with a rubber strap if you are actually providing any care, I have had wet nato straps (from washing hands 50 times a shift) give me rashes or make the inside of my wrist raw.

Will pick up either an Everest or Rubber B, rubber strap for my upcoming daily driver watch purchase one I get it. I'm thinking the rubber will be less irritating to my skin than the wet nato fabric, I think I actually have some mild scarring on my left wrist from it, it took a while to heal, had to switch to wearing my watches on the right wrist while it did.

Have a look at the customised Rolex company "PRO HUNTER" - They reckon that their Nato straps are "made by the same company that used to supply Rolex" !!

Krypt0n1te · 10 January 2015, 03:57 AM

I too own a gazillion of Nato's and Zulu's... probably from each of the names/company's already mentioned. I do however like these ones A LOT, especially due to the 1mm thickness.
