New Tank Treads Modem Burner

The Marathon SAR has been described as a tank so decided to change the treads to this custom sized GasGasBones BR Skinny. This nylon is capable of handling the weighty SAR and then some. They come in 25mm and 30mm [shown] widths. You can also order white, orange, black, or red stitching. You measure your wrist and the watch to be used and it's made for you. Kinda stiff at first yet still comfortable.
Might order a 25mm w/ red stitching for my GMT.
Thanks to Randy for turning me on to this brand.

That is an awesome band that I have to be ordering for my Marathon coming soon. I like it a lot and it looks sharp on the Marathon.

Thanks, guys! Carl makes some great straps. Check out his website. Super fast turn around and delivery, although he says shipping to the USA can be fast or slow.
Omega fans will love his stuff.

Thanks again, everybody. Although I've never tried a nato on the SAR I thought the weight would be too much. Well this strap can stand up to the challenge. But forget about wearing it under a shirt cuff.

Thanks for the info Dan, it looks great on the Marathon. Might have to try one on the 168000.
