路I am a Blueshark man- love their straps- and I hate Nato鈥檚 (but seem to own dozens of them 馃え
Have had luck with Gecko bracelets on newer watches- but they tend to be a bit chunky for the slimmer lugged vintage pieces.
Never tried the Uncle Seiko or Strapcode. I鈥檓
Always looking for good bracelet options for the vintage pieces, but they are either too chunky or not made in 18/19 which is what most vintage take.

路there is so much hit and miss with straps i don't even want to spend 10-15 on a nato or 50 on an expensive leather...and fity isn't even that much..lol
i generally spend $1-2 on them from the far east and it takes 30 days to get them. it's mostly the same chit you can get in a week from a us seller but have to pay 5-10 for.
i realize not all of them are created equal,..but i have to say i like the cheap thin ones on watches that i can get away with. i've had the thicker ones for heavier watches but it just takes way too long to break them in...and i have to say i hate the excess bulk of the safety strap and lack of a keeper.
i'm looking at getting a couple of these @ $4.27 each
yeah,...i'm the one who will put these on inexpensive and very expensive watches

i feels ya. i have some nice vintage tropics and others just sitting. i refuse to wear a tropic when i could sell it for almost a hundo,,,thing is i don't sell it............,lol
i've actually purchased watches just for the strap. there was time you could get a vintage diver with a vintage tropic for 50 bucks..you can still do it, but the 50 is now at least 100 and most of the time more..not to mention dodging the replica tropics which are everywhere

Kreisler Stelux is some nice option for vintage pieces - and a vintage bracelet as well. Here is mine in 19mm that I had on my Seiko 6139-6000 which came on an am Seiko bracelet. I replaced it finally for the correct, original H-Link bracelet.
And here is some interesting info about the company:

I鈥檓 surprised you鈥檙e not all over cheapestnatostraps.com They鈥檝e got a good selection but you do get what you pay for. You can feel the difference in strap quality when you try on the cheap one at Macy鈥檚 and then try on a leather strap at Cartier or Herm猫s. Personally I鈥檝e bought the cheap ones before but now that I know what I want I鈥檒l spend a little more and get something nicer that feels better and lasts longer

路I know most look at straps as consumables but I have so many watches that I rotate regularly (and most have bracelets), that I don鈥檛 mind paying a little more for a quality strap. That said- my threshold for Nato鈥檚 is around $25 and leather around $100...I can鈥檛 roll with the dudes sporting $300 gator straps...that鈥檚 a whole watch to me...or a good chunk of one at least.

Anyhoo, don鈥檛 waste even one penny. It arrived and I could smell the chemicals from the plastic (it isn鈥檛 leather despite what was advertised) before I open the package. They smelled so bad that my colleagues on neighbouring desks complained about a burning plastic smell!
Possibly dangerous to wear on the skin... didn鈥檛 find out, went straight in the bin!

Hi, just to say, many moons ago I bought a strap EXACTLY as those in the eBay link, exact advert everything, but I think a different seller...

Well, I just placed an order for one. We'll see (in a month or so...) how well they're made.
