Another supporter for the eulit perlons. Have a grey one piece I regularly wear on my -69 (with a caseback sticker I will say)

Until the new Eulit arrives I’ve gone back to the croc/leather strap with deployment clasp.

Trying in some freebies the seller tossed in when I bought the Speedy. Chocolate brown leather, no stitching, for now.


Interestingly, this strap and a lighter brown one have built-in lug pins with a handle on one side. To remove the strap you simply pull the pin handle inward with a thumbnail and the strap comes right off. Spiffing idea, making a no-tools strap change a snap.

i picked up an inexpensive Perlon strap from WatchGecko recently and found it rather cheap-feeling. My expectations for a $16 strap were low and my expectations were met. Very thin and plastic-feeling. Anybody have a quality Perlon strap that feels like quality?

Black was in back order so I went with gray, the least objectionable alternative.
Don't buy a generic Perlon. Buy a Eulit. They take a bit to break in, but by far my favorite fabric strap

The Eulit Perlon strap arrived. Muuuuuch better than that shitty one from WatchGecko. Feels about as stiff as a quality nylon NATO strap, which is fine. Nice quality hardware. Note that this strap is pretty short. On my 7 3/4" wrist there is just barely enough of the strap end left to tuck into the buckle.

Very comfortable to wear and you cannot see through the weave. I'm officially a fan of Eulit.
