are the those Nato straps available through anyone besides rolex???

are they made of Nylon as is typical? or are they possibly made of cotton?

they seem to have more of a matte finish vs the usual nato's i see available on the web.

thanks for any help.

The NATOs fitted to my watches were the old type Rolex UK fitted to watches until around 2007-8.

The ones they now sell are a different type... much stiffer, sharp, and with the removable buckle. I think Rolex just source these from a generic strap supplier and they are nothing special.

NATO straps are available everywhere. It's worth going to a watch fair and comparing and handling some different straps, and even army surplus stores usually have a few to choose from. Ebay is full of them!

Good luck!

Where'd you put the Chance and Community Chest cards Mike? And I take it they're all on Free Parking...so I hope we're playing that rule?

Absolutely incredible collection.....

Well if you don't I don't know who would.

I too would like a chance at the free parking rule as well.

Mike, any worries of 4 pairs hitting the tile below? It looks like dominos waiting to fall. Each time I look at the sides of the board I get chills.
