Watch Straps Recommendations (lemm.ee)

I am planning on buying a jays and kays 22mm adapter, and thinking of a nato and a perlon strap for a GWM 5610u. Thinking either crowns and buckles or CNS, but I hear crowns and buckles is better so I might shell out for the extra cost.

What nato strap do you use? Any recommendations?

I bought mine at strps.watch it's a dutch company. If you're from outside the eu it might not be the best choice because of taxes and import fees. Quality is good, I have the premium nato

Yeah I'm outside the eu, but hopefully this advice will help someone within the eu.

I personally like MN straps better. They look like nato straps but way more comfortable.

I've seen people overwhelmingly recommending Crown and Buckle. I'll check out MN straps

Edit: ahh I have seen these straps. They're pretty pricey though.

My bad I didn’t mean the Erika’s originals, those are stupid expensive for what they are.

Check out the Watch Steward. Those imo are the best bang for your buck when it comes to these style of straps.

Checked out Watch Steward, they don't appear to be NATA straps, a little stretchy aren't they? I might still have to give them a try. US made and affordable, that's a dream come true.

Sorry for the late reply, they are not nato straps they’re marine nationale/parachute straps.

Less bulky, more stretchy depending on the material you choose, infinitely adjustable, and very comfortable.

Having wearing them for a good amount of time now, I do like them, but I sweat and pretty much every week they're a little stinky.
