Sharing this new type of dangerous NATO straps with members here. I've spoken to the seller and he said this is the way this NATO strap is designed, well since he said so, i'm not gonna "shame" him on this post, i'm merely sharing the functions of this kind of NATO strap because i personally don't appreciate the way the keepers are made and i'll like to hear what fellow members here think.

Long story short, since he advertised it as NATO strap, i mean NATO is pretty basic what, so i didnt ask much and just buy. But turns out, the top keeper (see image) is totally loose and not sewn in place de (unlike normal NATOs). After seller explained to me on installation instructions, turns out the entire watch can basically slide off the strap due to gravity, if you hold the strap vertically. The seller recommended i use thicker spring bars to increase the friction, thus preventing the watch from sliding off.

What say you guys?

Wow this looks exactly like the Crown and buckle chevron, anyway its single pass too =/

The seller should put it is single pass, but i'll just treat it as a lesson learnt

I own 1 chevron single pass and it has no problem securing the watch due to the strap quality and perhaps i have thick bars
