    Good luck, I've got a feeling this is not a website that contains many potential buyers for your patterns. Might look great on Sistem 51 Swatch watches if you could actually put this type of strap on it.

    Also since your charging a premium and posting on High end watch websites, you might want to explain why yours are better.... What type of metal? What is the finish, brushed, satin, matte. How thick is your nylon? How are they sewn? Is it heat sealed? Does it have inner stitching?

    There are 100's of sellers of Nato straps out there, many have bold patterns like yours, so why are yours better since you are charging almost twice the price of everyone else at your special pricing and 3 times the price at your normal price?

    Good luck with the sales. As @Foo2rama mentioned not sure if it is the right audience for your straps. Anyway, once again good luck with sales :)

    Good luck with your launch.
    Personally am not into these kind of strap designs and i am not sure if there is a big market for these kind of natos.
    One thing the market is missing in my opinion is high quality nato strap... and i mean omega oem nato quality.
    i would happily pay a premium for a nato like the ones omega or tudor makes.

    I can't imagine anyone putting an Omega on one of those, they look more like novelty children's band-aid designs than watch straps.

    Geezus, I looked at the title and thought you were going to put comments on NATO straps. I would have wanted "NATO STRAPS SUCK!", but I think you're done a better job of conveying that without using a single word.

    On the bright side, you could always license some of your patterns to Vera Bradley if they ever decide to make a line of purses and bags for tweener girls.

    They would go well with this watch, which is a favourite among several members in here

    Hopefully you find a market for them somewhere, just think this watch forum may not be the place for the multicoloured/printed pattern NATOS, but I'll keep checking WRUW

    first thought I had:

    wow! suspenders / braces


    but just like the one guy above ... you MIGHT find a market for top quality natos ... if they are really top and quality ...

    maybe you can go dual ;-)
