We are inviting one and all to join the "Nylon Nation" social group.

As our mission statement reads: "Dedicated to the perpetuation of the utilitarian nylon strap in all it's forms."
To apply for citizenship you must:
- read and agree with our "Bill of Rights"
- own a watch
- own a nylon strap
- submit pics of proof.

Nylon Nation Bill Of Rights

-We, the undersigned, have declared nylon appropriate and we will embrace the strap. Although in many cases we might prefer a bracelet we fully accept nylon as a practical alternative.

-We extend equal rights to all nylon straps be they 2 ring, 4 ring, zulu, rhino, or nato.

-We will embrace variety. It will be our duty to involve as many colors and combinations to enhance diversity.

-We will respect originality whenever possible but also establish the right of vintage and/ or modern watches to the use of nylon to achieve life, liberty, pursuit of wrist time.

I used to have a huge collection of zulu's and g10 straps (nato's) but now I just have one black zulu. It's a nice change every once in a while, but I think it would look better with the black insert GMTII.

Dan Pierce · 8 March 2009, 02:21 AM

Either way it looks great, Trevor!

It does make for a nice change and you can always revert back to original.
