QUOTE(fuzzy @ Jul 5 2017, 09:35 AM) How was the chromexcel? I got one from Lakehouse Leathers for around RM40 but I haven't warmed to it yet. eh so cheap?  i like my chromexcel! the one i have is double layered and yet soft and supple despite thickness being 4mm, smells darn good and its not as shiny as the Horween horse butt cheeks... forgot what was the name already  the only complain i have is the design because the strap maker couldn't taper the straps and putting thick un-tapered straps on a dress watch doesn't blend very well oh... i tried ordering some straps from cheapest nato straps... they didn't have the natos i wanted thus replaced with some leather, they're quite stiff, similar to the stock straps from Orient This post has been edited by kenji1903: Jul 5 2017, 10:30 AM

QUOTE(fuzzy @ Jul 5 2017, 10:32 AM) Clearance sale coz he was moving to another state. I don't have good impressions on cheapestnato, it is what the name says, it's cheap but quality wise was really meh. If you want leather nato's, check out Nato Strap Co, they have some going on at USD5. i should have learned my lesson and refrain from getting anything from shops with the word "cheapest" on them  i have one black leather nato and a stripped one but i don't have a watch to match them, lol

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 5 2017, 08:53 PM) from what i read...the cheapestnatostrap the cheap one is useless. but the premium one is good...as good as like what red army sold before...similar prices too. ive always felt like ordering one of their vintage looking leather straps cos cheap...but i hardly wear leather  That's what I read too thus I ordered 2 premium NATOs. Unfortunately they didn't have one of them and offered 2 other straps as replacement for one so I just took them. I took the leather NATO and a kvarjo suede leather, leather didn't smell as good. leather NATO was ok though but it didn't fit into my watches. The suede was very stiff, considered it as a free gift so can't complain I guess. I have a normal NATO, comparing it with their premium NATO, the premium is slightly thicker and maybe slightly more solid. Again that didn't fit into my watches as well so... wasted my money, lol

QUOTE(Everdying @ Jul 6 2017, 10:08 AM) ya i read the leather has a funny smell. how come the leather nato can't fit? too thick? it doesn't have the normal nice leather smell you get from leather... it smells like PVC but feels like leather  yeah, the strap is a bit thick AND my watch has a short lug to lug measurement... never again will i have any intention to change straps for my Aquaracer... and since the straps are 20mm, i don't have anything with that lug width... then a dumb idea popped out to get a watch with 20mm lug width, maybe an SKX013  i should stop thinking about all these
