Do you even Perlon?

Do you, bro?

I'm making a joke with that heading, some people will understand lol.

I am someone that enjoys being slightly different so I enjoy changing bracelets for different options.

Nato, zulu, rubberb, everest.... some people say they do not like it and prefer the classic look of the watch on the original bracelet.

I think its next level and if you have enough watches where you can have some on a bracelet some on straps well okay why not. The watch kit to do all that stuff and change it was 13 bucks on eBay.

Who wears perlon? ???

Not me. Im good with leather and rubber, but really I'm a bracelet guy and the newer bracelets are just about perfect. I have a nato on a Casio pathfinder, but that's where I stop.

I prefer bracelets, but have a few watches with leather straps.

I'm not much into fashion.

obviously it is for fashion now but i have always wondered the original reason for having oversized straps with the extra length folded back over .. some of my natos are so long that would have to have 12 inch wrists to need to use the last hole

all i can think of is that the design is so the watch is ready to be worn over a diving suit, and the strap design means it can still be worn when not diving?

I know I'm in the minority, but I like them to change things up every now and then.







They really are comfortable.

Yes, most definitely love the Perlon! I call it the glidelock of fabric straps. You have infinite holes to get the perfect fit, haha.

These are certainly Nylon Nation approved. Having said that, with all the straps options I've enjoyed over the years, perlon was never one of them. That might have to change. The weave adds a nice affect and the matching colors show you'll go the extra mile.

I love natos, leather and some other straps, but the perlon isn't for me. I think it looks decent I'd just never put one on my watch. Maybe I prefer it to look a little more rugged? I'm not sure what it is.

Very nice watches by the way!

Perlon is one of my favorites, because it dries much faster than my NATOs, it's infinitely adjustable, and it's very comfortable and light. Eulit Kristal model:

Icon6 Count me in for a heck yeah!

I like the Eulit and DaLuca Perlons a bunch. Have more than a few 20mm and 22mm that I use.

Red white and blue with NY Mets orange for summertime.

Love my black Perlon straps by Eulit. Comfortable and they add to my Submariner tool look.

Yeah, I've got a bunch of Eulit models (four different weave styles,) and they're great. I honestly can't think of a better tool strap option...and I've pretty much tried them all.

Definately not for me. Some of the colors and bracelets looks way too feminine.

One of the great things about Eulit, while they make a model called the Panama that looks like most of the other Perlon straps out there, they also make other weaves.

This is the Kristall model in grey, which has a bit of a similar visual vibe to the Tudor Black Bay fabric strap, but it's thinner and dries fast. It's probably my favorite strap.
