MOD Phoenix straps arrived today.

Agree with comments about finer weave and with use they will likely soften up.

I'm not sure though about the colours & width of stripes but have yet to bring them into use or see them in daylight. Will have to wait and see.

Just put my Submariner on a rather nice olive green Nato I got from SecTime. It's a richer green than the one from from Watch Obsession.

It cost £5.95 with no delivery charge.

Job done.

I've had a couple of SecTime straps lately, and their prices plus free postage certainly make it a cheap way of trying something new on a watch.

Very Bond :D You will be spoiled for choice.

Thought you might pick up an original Admiralty Grey

I must admit that I haven't got an Admiralty Grey at all; perhaps I ought to. Generally prefer Olive Green, but Grey may be more versatile.

I surprised myself as to how much I liked the look of your Submariner on an olive green NATO. :thumbup:

It is very "toolish" but quite versatile - I have an original which I use on my CW occasionally. I do like the Phoenix green though - it is darker than most.

Have to agree Richard - not that you would be surprised though :lol:

It does give the Sub a certain devil-may-care look 8)


Scooter - is it the light or does it actually have a pre-washed look?
