Nato Straps- Where to get them ??
Guys,
Before anyone says search, I did and found some posts with some suppliers, but it was all over the place.... I would like to just get one place with a list of possible suppliers/comments... please feel free to add any suggestion, I have tried ebay, and they are too thin and feel cheap hence this post. Trying to find a place that does good quality items... Cheers.. |

I agree with Vincent, Gnomon is a good option. I regularly buy from their bricks and mortar store in Singapore, as they are in the same building as our offices (and no, we did not move our offices there just to have them close at hand in case we had an urge in between meetings).
Not the nicest people on earth, but knowledgeable and quality is always at the rendezvous. |

Eddie at Timefactors.com Best NATO straps I have ever had and I've purchased from a lot of suppliers. Maratac is good too, but not as soft.

I have a few Maratac brand NATO and ZULU straps, and they're very well-made. I get them from Broadarrow.net and Countycomm.com
Good luck! -GW |

I've been meaning to get a Phoenix
Big fan of the Maratacs - they are tough & best in the tool watch area in my experience - actually taking the watch in the salt around a wetsuit Timefactor's are nice, softer Leather: Roverhaven
