OK so Corvus Nato is a no, but who............

..........else makes 'em?

I've read enough today to swerve wasting $40 on a Corvus Bond nato. I've also found plenty of other nato suppliers, but none that have the same olive green colourway as Corvus. Where should I look?

Did you read my opposing view? Are you aware of the new and beefed up version of the strap that has replaced the old?

I gave you a link to another source in your other thread. For the Olive green you need to order the "Real" Bond version.

http://shop.ebay.com/bicycleman/m.html

If you don't want to use Ebay, here is his web site. He mentions on the web site that he ships world wide for free if you order two straps.

Yep I did see that. However I read something else that intimated quality might not have improved very much. I'd say feedback on this and other forums is 70% bad and 30% good so I figured it might be wise to follow the herd.

I couldn't work out how to sign up to get the discount code.

It is a shame they have so much negitivity around them as it's a very good looking product but doesn't seem to hold up very well for most folks.

Ah, yes I saw that. Sorry I don't want you guys thinking I'm ignoring your advice. on my laptop it didn't look quite as olive like as the Corvus. Actually for the price I think I'm going to go with your reccomendation if shipping to NZ isn't too bad. I'll probably buy a black and grey one from gnomon too.

Appreciate the advice.

I'm really not paying attention today am I - free shipping for 2 straps, that's the way to go.

Do you guys thing my new Oris Big Crown would also suit a nato, prolly in black?

Thanks for weighing in OP. You're right that is a shame as I have enjoyed wearing the nato from them and my milage has been great. The fact that it cost $40 is pricy and like other members here I have other natos of good quality at cheaper prices but the discount makes it worth it.

They have a forum with a sticky with directions on how to pull the coupon code unless it has been withdrawn. In another thread I gave a walk through on how to navigate the site to recieve the code. Also you want to sign up for their email on the off chance that they'll send out a discount and perhaps that is the time to weigh wether to get one or not. It appears that another member chimed in on your original thread with the supplier of corvus' straps and their ebay link for about 15 quid.

good luck and keep us posted.

joel
