Nothing new la..

Do you really think Rolex waiting list so jialat? When the production numbers are high? And then got BN pieces everywhere but AD, except those who hold FB PLP Lucky Draw?

Actually I think really jialat.
Cause everyone know can flip. So just go put name.
Then ad not stupid. Can flip, why sell off the shelves.
Bundle game with grey dealers lor.
They earn more. By cleaning shitty stuff.

But then again, with that kind of demand, make 1 - 2 mil watches a year across a huge catalog, also tough.

As in, if the AD didn't play those games, I don't think the waiting list will be that long.

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?

the only other nato i see like this is Tudor, but they use like a normal strap with spring bar inbuilt.

this kind, sure will slide down but they also cannot build a keeper below since it's a single long strap nato. not double pass

weird design

Bro the adjustable NATO all like this. Works more like single pass NATO. The reason why the topmost keeper can move is so that you can shorten the tail to a length you are happy with.

Maybe you can tell him he should state is single pass. Most places selling this or their version make clear it is single pass.

By the way, he clearly just reselling goods bought in bulk from China haha. He don't even bother to hide it in some of his other ads.

That said, when it's on your wrist, if one spring bar fails, the watch will still stay attached la.

Just have to be a bit more careful when wearing/taking off.. I have one also from Cheapestnato.

very comfortable strap but sometimes slightly difficult to put on. maybe I seldom wear it.

MN strap-style?
I thought its ok, but just that when you putting it on your wrist, you really need stretch that elastic band for it to go through your fist first, but after that, quite comfy haha

but the one from cheapestnato does not have a closed loop, it is an open strap like the single-pass nato, and if you are not careful the watch+strap may drop when trying to put it on.

That’s different from the one that we ordered. pwillie’s is the Paratrooper Strap (I think).
