Question for ToxicNATOs

[moishlashen]

Hi T-really like the looks of your straps-good work.


I've recently been wearing all of (Ok both) of my watches on nylon. Somebody here gave me a grey mil-spec (from County Comm I think) with the stitched in keeper. I've really come to dig the hell out of it.


My affinity for it may have something to do with the fact that it's a nicer made strap and as others have echoed-all my natos are cheap hole stretched pieces of crap too?

ToxicNATO mil-spec in play?

So are you asking if I would carry those? Because my vendor has them so I can get some if you want them?

[CesarG]

We were just talking about those. I dig that style.

I just trim the extra fabric off of the regular ones. But here some more I can get

Change the buckle hardware to the your one?

I'd buy a couple for sure. Call them Toxic-MIL-Natos

Here's the thing-I have a Maratac one from CountyComm and it's great but very thick (no homo). The thicker one works fine with my Seiko-has more spring bar-watchcase clearance. It doesn't however work with my Omega with much less clearance-this is where the thinner nato style works but the crappy natos I've been buying with stretched holes and whatnot are teh hep C. I'm sure a ToxicNATO will solve this-but I really like the military style.


As an aside-this day forward I'd like to take credit for the unit of measurement describing a watch case/spring bar clearance. I'd use SI units so I guess MM-probably no need to get down to um etc. I could be a valuable piece of information to those in the strap industry


Example:

Hi, my name is Herb and I'd like to buy a new nato for my watch.
Sure Herb, what's your Moishlashen number?
The Moishlashen number is 1.5.
Thank you Herb, I have all the information I need-your straps are on their way.
kthxbaibai

Hahaha your a dork for sure.

Now the ones my vendor carries says it is a medium weight nylon, which so are the ToxicNATOs. That leads me to believe it will be a tighter woven strap unlike the Maratac's.

So do you want to try a couple and we can see where this goes?

He also has some camo straps available. And a few two-pieces.

Prolly just the OD one TDub. Maybe FDEish color too? I'd try and if the moishlashen factor is too high I could use them on my Seiko (a high moishlashen capacity watch).

I like the army green, olive green, and khaki.

Hopefully others will chime in? I don't want to buy 100 of them. I'm poorer than a Manatowac County dental floss salesman

Terry, see if he can do longer, 10.5 is a lil' short. Also ask him how the nylon is fused together to make that loop, could be scratchy

I will ask him tonight and see. I think today is a holiday in Australia so he might be to drunk to answer his emails.

I will probably order a few just to check them out. I just have so much money going out right now I need to slow down.

If he has it in stock you only have to pay what you want. Now if I was getting them custom made it usually takes at least 500 of them to get some one to make them.

[moishlashen]

Sure-I'll take a couple of em each-20mm for the Omega and a couple 22mm for Seiko SKX007 . No hurry at all and hopefully more people will chime in.

[BSears]

I'd try one of those in 22mm for my Seikos.

The regular Mil straps he has are in 18 or 20mm. The camo versions he has in 20 or 22mm.
