Honestly imo right up there. But there are some differences. His has a sewn in buckle and it is around .5-.7mm thinner. I personally don't like the thin buckle he uses, but when you want a sewn in hardware there are some sacrifices to be made. So it was the right decision.

Also you have to remember it took over 1 year with him working directly with manufactures to get it perfect. So he has a ton of sweat and tears involved to make this a great strap. And I do think it is pretty damn close. Is his a $40 strap, if you have omega money then absolutely. Mine is a $28 strap. Is it worth more than that? You have to ask the buyers here. :cheers:

Terry, your strap is well worth the ask. I have a black Omega strap. It sits essentially unworn in the strap box. I'm wearing your gray Herringbone on my Sub almost daily.

Thanks Tom for the feedback. I honestly don't want to come off as a shill, so it is tough not call things the way I see it all the time.

Thanks for the answer Terry. I went for yours because of your much nicer hardware & buckle and for $28 yours seems like a much better deal and the material definitely seems comparable. I got a couple of your normal ones from mikeylacroix and they are by far and away the best natos I have owned so I am sure these will knock it out if the park too.

I picked up a bunch of straps for my Seiko PADI, but the Shiznit in gray seems to get the most wrist time. The strap does seem longer than the other Toxic straps, but I double back on the strap and it fits just about perfectly. Need to order a few for my incoming MM300

Thanks for the feedback Sherwin. All my straps are going to the 290mm length. Except for the RAF and the Roo's.

I'm wearing my grey one today. Several times I've stopped and looked at it because it looks like such an expensive strap. I can't wait for navy blue to be done.
