16610LV with Corvus Bond nato

Some days ago i received the Corvus Bond nato so had to take some pictures. I think the combination is not so bad. Now about the quality of this strap...i think is very low for a $ 39 price. Cheap buckle...on their web site shows you a buckle with "Made in Britain" but i had received a different one. Anyway this strap should cost $ 10 not more. If $ 39 was the real price then a nato strap from time factors should cost $ 100 if you compare the quality.
The last pictures: buckle i had received and buckle that shows on their web site.

Not bad looking, but a bit expensive for a nato strap.

They are just trying to charge folks who want the NATO colors from the strap Bond wore....pure and simple.

don't like this... colours are too clashy... 39 bucks also seems very expensive..

have a look for Gnomon Watches, they're cheaper and quality is great

I was thinking if they cost $ 39 must have a very good quality, but seems that who sells this straps wants only to make profit and doesn't need that customers return to him for other acquisition.
I was thinking why nobody sells this combination of colors? If he made a quality strap like this he can make a lot of money...
