I've owned a few of the Tudor nato straps. Great quality and the adjustability is nice.

Good decision me thinks! At that length, thicker gauge can only help...as well as the shielding.

Indeed! I've been thinking the black w/gold stripe and black w/red stripe might look nice on the BBR.

Yeah I read up on them a little before I bought to understand what I was looking at. I just wish I could find a better source than Amazon. I hate feeding the man! Lol But their price and free 2-day shipping is usually impossible to beat.

I had a WTB up at the other place for weeks, and someone finally offered it to me. He said he only wore it twice, pictured it with the springbars and the plastic as well. He only wanted $115 for it, which is a steal!

i often trim mine to suit but would be reluctant to take a razor blade to a £190 nato band - one issue to me would be also they are a very easy item to copy - they are certainly present on the replica watches -so sometimes if the price is too good to be true it sometimes just might be
But it has a cool buckle Believe me, I hear you; but then, we also pay thousands of dollars for watches ultimately not any better ones that cost hundreds I am thus far finding myself hard-pressed to pay $100-plus for a fabric strap...but I don’t see anything similar out there less expensive.

It looked legit and had the right packaging. I’ll compare it to the one I have and if it seems fishy, I’ll dispute it on PayPal.

I didn’t know there was a question of legitimacy. According to your pic, it looks just like mine.

No more a question than usual. Peter just brought up the old “if it seems too good to be true” adage. I have no doubts that it’s the genuine article.
