    Very nice! Love them on NATOs but I'm too affraid of damaging the case back so I will probably never put one on :)

    I love NATOs, but most of my watches have display backs that I don't want to cover up. ;)

    Exactly CanberraOmega :) But to be honest I have only heard that this is common since I have not tried my self. Looks fantastic though!

    Oh, it definitely does happen. Over time, dirt and other matter accumulate between the strap and caseback. I suppose removing it to clean things up occasionally will decrease the likelihood though.

    FWIW, you can get UK made Phoenix NATO straps from mickie500 on eBay. Prices are reasonable - color are limited though.

    Whereas I am, but it has to be the right NATO strap...

    Nato strap, I remember using an OD strap off of my ruck, worked very well.

    I got it from Jan at XXXstraps. He posted on the sales forum, and I asked him to make one specially. I'm pleased with it.

    I've got one of Jan's 19mm straps (non nato), very pleased with it.
