QUOTE(kl920930 @ Jan 3 2020, 10:05 AM) hey guys, so I've been buying lots of straps to match with my watches over the years. Selling that unused blue-patterned strap? What's the size? I'm wondering where do you guys get yours straps from? do you prefer leather / nylon /cloth / nato / steel bracelet band? lets share our watch strap collection and inspire others. in the past I've bought straps from these below brands: 1. strapcode 2. barton watch bands 3. nomadwatchworks 4. fossil 5. iStrap 6. various lazada / shopee merchants etc. below is my current watch and straps collection: ![]() |

Picture taken from gugel. the reason why I'm not into nato straps is because the fact that it feel too long on my wrist that I need to fold the extra length and also will make the watch thickness look way too tall for my small wrist![]() |

Can anyone kindly advise what is the difference between a nato vs 5-ring zulu? I only notice the squarish ring on nato vs rounded on a zulu...any other differences?
Where can I get a good quality nato or zulu? Any particular brand? Thanks!! |

Where can I get a good quality nato or zulu? Any particular brand? Thanks!! Traditional military style NATO’s have an additional strap, which slides through the two lugs, so you have two straps of nylon under the watch. ZULU straps only have one long strap, which makes it chunkier around the buckles and the strap is made of thicker nylon. A ZULU strap can also have 3 buckle rings or 5. just buy those from shopee around or below rm20 and it good to go no need branded ones |

Thanks! Appreciate the input. |

I think you can buy based on review ratings then should be safe to get a decent quality pieceYup I was also considering the rm20-rm30 variants from shopee but I wonder if the quality is OK... hope the material won't get frayed esp around the edges.
