Rolex Sub Nato Strap

[athomp04]

As the title suggests, any recommendations as to who makes the best quality ones for a 2019 model. I like the classic black and grey one best.
Thank you

Bark & Jack make very good nato straps at a sensible price, the owner, Adrian has a very good Youtube channel and is a Rolex wearer himself.

Bark & Jack straps are decent quality and not bad value at £25, but they don't offer the striped NATO that the OP is wanting.

I would look here: https://www.watchgecko.com/nato-zulu-watch-straps

Watch Gecko offer nice straps, and they do the 'Bond' style grey and black striped NATO for £24.

+1 on the ZD straps. I have probably 12 or so ZD straps, mainly nato but some rubber ones too.

This could be a nice purchase for you given how easy natos are to swap between: https://www.zuludiver.com/collections/nato-watch-s...

FWIW I would lean toward the straps with the chunkier hardware like above for a chunky tool watch like a sub.

For example, I really like this strap: https://www.zuludiver.com/collections/nato-watch-s... but I think the metal is too delicate - and polished - for a Sub.

ZuluDiver ‘seat belt’ ones are really nice but I sometimes find they’re so soft that they flex too much. They also don’t last terribly well.

If you’re not bothered about the cost then I’d put an Omega NATO on it as by some margin they’re the best NATOs I’ve used.

Another option would be an Erikas Original strap which are really nice.

Here’s my GMT on a “bond” nato. Cheap one off eBay.

The Artem ones are meant to be very nice.

As above, Zuludiver. I’ve not had one of their NATO’s but recently had an issue with something from them and their customer service was faultless.

If you can wait until they have more stock then this would be my choice:

Very reasonable prices there. I wouldn't be expecting top quality for the price but are they any good?

Well worth the money especially if you order a few. The cheap natos are just cheap a bit like the Ebay ones but huge range of colours and I.m really happy with the vintage leather ones I recently purchased

Lovely result OP.
