The Watch Steward straps arrived! Faced some issues with the 22mm strap buckles looking under the weather (read: scratches and smudges of discoloration) but Kevin was pretty upfront and issued a quick refund.
On the whole, first impressions are good. My favorite part of the Erikas are how unnoticeable they are on the wrist, because they hug it snugly. This wears slightly different due to the lack of customisation, and my small wrist, leading to triple layer of materials and a look between that of an Erikas and NATO. It was also more challenging than the Erikas to put on, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
