MonkeyMatt said: suffolk009 said: Thanks to everyone for their advice on getting a new strap for my Tag Monza (the leather one has fallen apart). As promised here is a picture of my wrist. I really must learn how to take photos - sorry. I've also got a black strap (came with a plastic EMAS), some regimentally looking one and a James Bond (from time factors), and this which was £5.99 off ebay. Much prefer this strap to the croc leather that the watch came with. Think I may be a convert....  Looks good on that strap! Thanks, and to the other comments too. Had another NATO arrive in the post this morning. That's five in five days -- this must stop!

so which strap would you choose for this watch? currently it's got an olive green Nato on it which doesn't really suit it. It's about as cheap a watch as you could have, but its got sentimental value, so I keep it as my 'dirty' watch

If they don't work then I'll buy one off you to help you cut your losses. Colour matching doesn't really bother me. Ask Hoofy.
