    Sea Dweller meets sweatshop produced overpriced nylon just doesn't have the same ring does it.

    WOW...must have missed something here...as regards self promotion, let me assure you all, this strap, sales, manufacture etc has NOTHING to do with me, just commenting that I like it. as regards sweat shop, well....not to be endorsed, but for all I know it came from the same place as my IWC pilot kevlar. :roll:

    Are we going to see a bunch of unpleasantness from Patrick every single time one of these straps is mentioned? I think everyone's position has been made more than adequately clear by now.

    Not for new gags, no - but the wabi on this one is so thick you can barely make out the original finish.

    Yes and no ... because whoever thought they were getting a real Kevlar strap better go and stand with the people who thought they were getting a real carbon strap.

    Let’s stop hiding and admit it … what bugged and bugs us is the excessive profit margin … the “I wanna be a fat cat” approach that it is exposed and being ridiculed currently everywhere.

    You cannot win OSH. All you can do is stay low key for a couple of years and we might forgive you. And the Xtian element didn’t help either. You need to know when to play the religion card and TZ-UK is the wrong place.

    OK,
    this post almost feels off topic as its actually about the straps.... i really like them
    does anyone know if anyone else sells "similar" straps that are 20mm at the lugs and not notched like previous examples?

    fancy one for a sub hommage with red stiching and, and , and, so many watches and combos i can think of.
    havent even recieved the nato strap yet and i think its been relegated!

    I'd really really like it if the shit-storm going down on other forums didn't happen here.

    Well it's been quietly rumbling on over here for a little while but I thin we're all much calmer about it than the Americans :D
