Nice straps, I think brushed or blacked out hard wear is much nicer than polished hard wear for a nato especially considering the military feel you get with a nato on a dive or chrono watch.
Thanks for that Jimmy - good thoughts those, and I would be inclined to agree! :)
From what I understand, authentic Zulu straps have brushed or bead blasted hardware due to its military significance before the MOD released G10 (NATO) straps in the 70s. I'm not sure what else entails an RAF other than being single pass and having a fabric keeper
Depends on the watch tbh, polished is nice if matching the case.
I bought a few blusharks late last year, they are quality and the customer service is excellent. The only negative is the square holes in the strap. A couple of them are wearing very quickly and to me they would be better changing the buckles to a rounded tongue and use circular holes in the strap.
Thank you for sharing that... good to note about the square holes. I haven't worn mine for massive durations, so far they are ok.
Another top drawer video Ivan. Wishing you all the best for a happy, healthy and productive New Year.
Thank you very much Brian for the kind comments, and for the consistent support you have given me. Wishing you a safe and happy New Year also! Cheers, Ivan.
Very nice comparison. The Ocean Master sure looks nice on a NATO/Zulu. I do feel the 1.4mm thickness is a bit much. That's why I love my Cincy Strap Works "Seat Belt" NATO so much, it's 1.2mm in thickness.
Thanks for that Neal. Interesting to hear about Cincy Strap Works... haven't come across them before. Perhaps they might be willing to collaborate with me... will look into it in future! :)
Hello Ivan,
A nice, interesting strap review. I have really enjoyed all your videos over the last year.
Wishing you good health and all the best for the forthcoming new year. Ian.
Thank you for that Ian, very kind of you and it's much appreciated. All the very best to you also! Cheers, Ivan.
A very helpful review for the straps users. Wishing you all the greatest to come for 2018.
Thank you very much Ramon - wishing all the best for 2018 also! Cheers, Ivan.
They make an alpha shark slim which feels best in my opinion, it is a step further in quality than the standard alpha shark.

Hi, "One more watch" sent my here & I am delighted, new subscriber & Cheers from Perth to Perth 👍🇳🇿
Keep up the good work 🎬
Thank you very much Gary, always great to hear from a local. There's a couple of Perth guys who want to do a "fan meet" in January - keep a look out on my FB page if you might be interested. Cheers, Ivan.
Very helpful, thank you very much and continue the good work.
Thanks mate, the positive feedback is much appreciated! :)
Yeah you really need to try the alpha shark slim, it's a whole nother world o'comfort
Thanks Donn - yeah I saw that when I was browsing again. It wasn't available when I got my pieces from them, but it sure sounds like a good choice and without the sometimes awkward thickness of these premium NATOs!
Perth WAtch , that's exactly spot on, I love mine on my diver very thin and they made it feel silky smooth, the only nylon nato that's actually ever felt like silk running through my fingers and very thin.
No Phoenix? The conundrum I seem to be hearing is 'Phoenix quality in bad, but its the only way to get the real Admiralty grey vintage look'.
Phoenix?
Fantastic vid thank you, have you tried any of the two piece NATO straps? I think blue shark used to make them or still does
Thanks for that - yeah I've tried two piece NATO straps, can't remember which brand I used but that are a good alternative if you don't like the lift that a NATO causes on a watch.
Nice straps all of them. But I will stick to my Natos from geek , even with a six week wait, fantastic value for your buck, great vidoe, All the Best for 2018
Thanks for that Mike, much appreciated - wishing you all the best for 2018 too! Cheers, Ivan.
Hi mate I have a samurai in the mail - what width are these straps? I see that blushark offers 20mm or 22mm.
Samurai should be 22mm IIRC (can check my review to confirm), and all strap companies I've ever bought from will offer 22mm options :)
Perth WAtch thanks mate. Very comprehensive review!
Sydney strap co look really good for a local product.
Thanks Terry - yeah Christian who runs the show seems to be consistently improving the quality of stock he puts out. Likely still manufactured overseas, but its an Ozzie run and owned show :)
Perth WAtch I’ve checked out his site but was disappointed to discover that his nato straps only go up to 22mm. I have two watches with 24mm lugs so it seems I’m stuck with the cheap quality on eBay 😢
Ah yes that's right. Well I can recommend BluShark for great quality also, they have sizes up to 24mm that may suit.
Sydney straps have not shipped my order.
Are they responding? Maybe they take more than a few hours?
@@PerthWAtch Its has been a fee days nos but I just sent two emails again just to confirm my request for Status of my order
I’m sure they’ll sort it out. Hopefully you used PayPal in case
Please change to a faster focusing camera!
Thank you for the feedback - I'm waiting for one of my loyal fans to get me one ;)
Good one! Check is in the mail :))
Awesome coolness! :D
hat would you recomend for an orange skx 011j? premium nylon strap?
I've enjoyed having premium NATO straps on my SKX... for the orange on I reckon you could go with almost any strap featuring orange... either black or blue with orange stripes, or even a simple orange silicone rubber.
Probably sourced from the same manufacturer/distributor. Just add their own hardware.
You're probably right there!
I'm so done with Blushark. They can't keep their lengths consistent. The straps don't fold over unless you buy the premiere options. Even their $32 straps are too short. I just bought several from Watchgecko and paid like 40 from some other online place too. Just annoyed I spent so much money on blushark to begin with. If you have small wrists, u might not have my problem
Oh dear, didn’t know that was a problem with them!
@@PerthWAtch well i'm starting to think most people don't care if their NATO end flips and tucks. For me that's the cherry on top with NATOs. But I did finally branch out to 2 different companies recently. And I hope my issue is resolved.
I don't even have really big wrists either... they're prob slightly larger than average bc I'm tall. That's why I think tucking isn't a big deal to others
That's the reason why I don't like premium nato straps they are over done in terms of thicknesses of the strap, oversize buckle, etc.... I prefer minimal strap thickness, buckle, etc.... nothing too much or more than necessary.
Fair enough... these days I prefer either single pass NATO style straps or even two piece NATO style!
That Phoibos is a proper NY0040 ripoff.
Thanks for pointing that out... however most people say it's more a "ripoff" of the *Deep Blue ProTac 1000* . Check it out and you'll see what I mean. Phoibos say that they share the same OEM as Deep Blue hence it's legit. Deep Blue has been around longer - so did they ripoff Citizen? I haven't bothered to look further TBH...
