Another Band Question

Was google'ing around and now I'm torn between the orange RubberB or a Nato/Perlon strap for my Milgauss zBlue.

I'm a little concerned putting a $20 strap on an 8k watch, but it does look cool in Orange with the matching lightning second hand.

So here are my questions...

Do you use the stock spring bars with the Nato/Perlon? If not which ones should I get? Also any recommended brands to look at that might be a higher quality? Still may buy the RubberB, but I think I might go the Nato/Perlon first to see how the watch wears not on the metal band.

Thanks for any help,

Cheers,
Corey

Higher cost does not always mean quality. People using the fact a strap is cheap as a reason not to buy it are likely doing so for snob reasons. I am willing to sell anyone a perlon for $1k if it makes them feel more comfortable.

With that said I think the rubberb would still look better with that watch. There are quite a few pics on here's of the milgauss with the rubberb and it looks great.

Corey, you can use stock spring bars with a nato/Zulu/raf. And all straps aren't created equal. The hard part is finding out what works for you.

Any recommendations on a good quality one to start looking at?

Thanks,
