Thank you for the in-depth look at the range so far. It's a pleasure to hear your perspectives and even watch a live opening! Regarding the Canvas straps, they do indeed have a slightly higher side profile (1.5mm) due to the double stitched layer. To achieve a better fit or easier installation, curved spring bars can help for pieces with tighter lug/ case spacing. Thank you again, and we look forward to revealing more ideas soon!
My only concern is that most curved spring bars have angled pegs that fit into the lugs, which these lugs weren’t necessarily designed for. It’s always been a concern of mine to fit curved spring bars into a watch that had straight bars in it, though I haven’t tested the hold/fit quite yet. You ever find any issue with this? If not, I’ll let the watches I intend to throw on perlon/nylon/leather pass through straps on curved bars. PS-You’re welcome! Keep doing what you’re doing, we all appreciate it. 🙇♂️
I personally have not encountered any issues and actually have them on most pieces (the Speedy and Longines went straight onto them as soon as they arrived). Depending on where they are sourced, I have noticed that curved bars do vary in design - some have very aggressively angled profiles, whereas others only have a preferred more gentle curve which would determine the angle of approach of the pin end/ peg.
Take Time, w/Patrick Marlett I find that if you fit the spring bars with the strap held in place works well. No need to bend the spring bars and if you do, it doesn't need much of a bend.
Great video, straps are stunning on your Seiko Cocktail. Love the "Carrier" such a unique design. Really nice tribute to the vintage military look and colors. Thanks!
Just bought a plain Single Pass Canvas for my father old Roidor diving Tritium Watch - Love it - Thank You nice overview! I really like the Single pass compare to the traditional NATO
Have 5x of these straps now for my 42mm Combat Sub. Excellent quality and outstanding personalised service from Alex. You need to checkout their new leather straps 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I have the black Parade on my Seiko SRP PADI which I wear daily working. When going out with the Wife I'll throw on their blue canvas if I'm trying to match something. Hands down the absolutely best upgrade to the NATO strap design.👍
There is a whole lot of range from this brand... I love that fact. The A2’s single pass design is also perfect for those who want the comfort of a nylon straps, sans the added dimensions of your more traditional nylon offering. Love ‘em.
@@TakeTimewPatrickMarlett I absolutley love it. the dial is stunning and it was all i wanted to wear this summer cause of how it shined. the strap is great but during the hot Denver days it was pretty sweaty. i have it on the watch steward strap right now and i dig it.
Not sure if you're familiar with this method, but it has worked for me. If you remove the spring bars of the CW, you can simply place the nato strap where it would normally be mounted and put the spring bars in over the strap, from the caseback side. You'll be able to put that canvas on damn near any watch with that method, hopefully it made sense.
Patrick, It just occurred to me why the Parade series looks so well, with Dress Watches … It's because of the shine of the material. So at first glance, they appear to be made from a fabric, well suited for a Necktie. Quite a "fashion savy" look. The best examples would be both Fred Astaire and the Duke of Windsor. You see, as unlikely it would seem; both wore Neckties, instead of a regular belt, for their trousers. Check- our any of Astaire's old movies. And You'll see I'm right. It's a "class act". ; )
Likely the same, haha. I just had another brand send me some straps in equivalent (or, daresay, even better!) packaging that retail for $20 flat. We'll talk those soon... They're quite similar to Haveston, actually.
Lloyd, I haven’t done any accessory reviews in weeks: this is catch up. Look at my playlists to get a good feel for the amount *watch reviews* that have released here 👌

Haveston Watch Straps any discount code for your straps?
Great video, straps are stunning on your Seiko Cocktail. Love the "Carrier" such a unique design. Really nice tribute to the vintage military look and colors. Thanks!
Of course! Be well and have a great weekend. 🙇♂️
Got to get both colors in the parade strap, love how the buckle fits the center of your wrist and not on the side of it! Haveston has it going on!!!
Yeah, it's the way to go. Probably my favorite strap from them currently.

Dude, I think I will! I didn't realize he had a leather good out!

Great overview. Havrston makes somr is my favorite straps too.

So... *Genius.* Issue: it ruins the convenience of having a “pass-through” strap if I have to remove spring bars to get it to work. 👌
Great Review Patrick, I’m hooked! Love the Parade Series.......Darn it I’ve got soooo many Nato straps! 😂
The *blue...* Is so good. No one would blame you if you picked up just one more, haha.

And they come in a nifty getaway tin, now an alternative to Altoids.
Love you videos... Would love to see your collection!
Thank you 🙏 Maybe at 10K we’ll revisit my collection.
those strap ons look really nice. i will invest in one in the future
Are Haveston buckles held on with a spring bar?
Are you wearing the new unreleased boldr globetrotter? :0 my father ordered one. I cant wait to check it out. Great vid!!
Yes, indeed I am. Thank you! Review for the Globetrotter soon to come.
ordered some thanks for this
I wonder how the Blue Parade strap would look on my Blue Spinnaker Bradner.
Honestly? ... Probably awesome
Great video, love that parade strap on a SARB?...
SARB065, it’s the original “Cocktail Time.”
Thinking 33
How much are they without the fancy box?
Likely the same, haha. I just had another brand send me some straps in equivalent (or, daresay, even better!) packaging that retail for $20 flat. We'll talk those soon... They're quite similar to Haveston, actually.
27 cm is to short but thank you for showing
Are they not all made in China? Please sir, more watch content and less about straps.
