Just ordered a nato strap and a divers strap from this company yesterday.

www.straps4watches.co.uk

Turned up like clockwork this morning. Total bill about £11. A useful company for cheap nato straps etc. Being UK based the postage charge was minimal.

Also ordered a few bits from a German watch tool/parts company yesterday and the postage and packing came in at about £8, which on an order value of £20 seemed crazy.

Got a Nato this morning for a cheap sports watch. Good service from them; no hassles.

Chunky leather strap? Will suit your watch well. Pics when it's done, please. PS How much?

It will be similar to that top left one colour wise, but with a polished buckle.

It was £65. I should think it will be not a vast amount different quality wise to the Omega one, but a fraction of the cost.

Clever. I notice the orange bits on the face will match the orange stitching.

To let everyone know the strap arrived today, superb bit of kit, slightly more chunky than the bracelet, but lighter which I like.

But no, really happy. When I get home I will get some pics up.

Just got home, long walk etc..





Not the best shots haha, but you get the idea. It is very robust and chunkier than I thought. But this is good as it will last.

Suits a chunky watch. Can't help thinking that perhaps you should have bought a car rather than a watch... wink

I didn't buy the watch, my Mum and Dad got it as a 21st present for me.

Car comes soon, debt is nearly gone and I move to a slightly cheaper place soon.
