^^^^ Just looked at that NATO on their site Guy. It looks very neat and great colour combination. How long is it and do the prices shown on their site include VAT or did you end up having to pay the VAT when delivered? Thanks.

I'm also interested in that strap, as Guy's description made it sound like a 'sensible' NATO (no tucking in, no daft fixed keepers etc). I note from the site that the strap is 270mm.

^^^ Thanks Richard re. the 270mm length - I think I did see that on the site, but managed to forget overnight! :problem:

I have ended up cutting the extra flappy bit off a few of mine, so that the buckle and keepers sit on the underside of the wrist. Not ideal but ok if I can't find an equivalent single layer RAF version.

If you delve into the website it doesn't give much info away, but from what you get and a 'search' you find a Company registered address PO Box in Fitzrovia, London, EC1.

On the order I received, there is a UK address of James Close, HA4 9EQ for returns.

Image

Whilst you pay via PayPal in USD it is actually a UK transaction at c. £23.20 per strap. Not cheap but the strap /packaging / presentation as a whole is worth it.

With the length at 270mm there is no need for fold / tuck (besides the strap is a bit thick for that) and the floating 2nd keeper positions in just the right place.

Here's a photo with the strap set for my 7.5" wrist, showing plenty of scope to accommodate a smaller wrist.

Hope this all helps.

That is a really nice and interesting watch. Is it a Sturmanskie? If so can you tell me what model it is.

Thanks

The Invasion strap with blasted fittings will look good on your Damasko.
