Not sure why but I really love an 18mm NATO on this CWC.

Posted elsewhere just now so excuse me but surely this watch on an admiralty grey Phoenix NATO is the epitome of a perfect combo (though I must admit, despite nearly throwing up at the idea on a...
Do it do it!
No problem, they seem like decent quality - I've had Watchgecko ones before (but they're 22/20 which looks quite thick now I'm so used to the 22/18 size) and these feel more robust with better...

Green one is £16 on eBay btw
Found a 22/18mm taper cordura strap

Phoenix NATO on this looks just right I think

Hard to tell really, he seemed a little shy but think he was pleased I noticed. He told me it was 'the mechanical one' and was obviously proud of it. I have to say it looked great, I've always liked...
Looks good. The UPS delivery man had one of those on and he seemed a little taken aback when I noticed it. It was on a NATO.
Great watch, strap and pics!! I’d love a strap like that but can’t find one that tapers 22/18.
I love these style straps - anyone know what they're called? Single stitch?
The LLD suits this one perfectly I think, 22/18m taper

Great to hear it. Must be very satisfying to work with all those materials and lose yourself in a project like that especially if it puts a smile on someone’s face. Nice one.
All that matters is that you like it buddy and fwiw I think they really suit that watch, let’s put it that way. Now we wait nervously for our thread bouncer. Stand behind me, I’ve got you. Quick,...
Uh oh. Now you’ve done it!
Me!
Sure, it’s from eBay.

This just looks perfect IMO:

I have one on my LLD. It’s almost an identical match for the OEM strap but better made and cheaper. I like it so much I bought two more as spares. Let me know if you want any more pics. I think the...
No PVD option unfortunately. Does anywhere in the UK stock the Crown&Buckle ones?
Tempted with the green but it looks a bit bright... wonder if anyone here has one. But yes I'd get the sand and grey too I think and bash the hardware about a bit to match the case!
Thanks I might give them a try now I have discovered they do PVD hardware. The Lemania at the top of the page is mine and it’s amazing on a bog standard semi knackered NATO but I can’t help checking...
Are those C&B Chevron straps shiny? I like the look of them but can't be doing with shiny nylon
Just wanted to add this one - think it matches perfectly... a happy accident!
