Just ordered one on Amazon. Too bad it is not Prime eligible. Will have to wait a week or so for delivery

I personally prefer it does not fold over, definitely buying one.

Just measured a bit. On the BB, you'd be ok. The tip of the strap would not extend above the case of the watch

Is this suitable for an 8 inch wrist?

Not to hijack this thread, but just to offer another (full custom) option; to wit: yellowdogstraps in the UK will make you ANY strap you want - Zulu, NATO, RAF - in ANY length/configuration. Yeah, it's gonna cost a few scheckels more, and you'll wait alittle longer, but the quality of his rubber is outstanding, as is the quality of his stainless steel keepers. I have a 20mm and a 22mm Zulu from him, both of which are fantastic!

Thanks. I was close to pulling the trigger, because I really like the looks of it, and think it would go well with my SMP 300M.

It's close. Tell you what. I was going to order another one, so get it and see how it works. If it doesn't fit right let me know and Ill buy it from you. Teamwork!

It's a good idea, but I've never been a fan of straps that are close to being maxed out. It's why I always wear XL leather straps, or custom leather.

Silicone is a dust magnet. BC rubber is not.

20mm?

I'd really love to pick one of these up for my 114060 Sub, but the only size I can find is 22mm.

If someone can direct me to where I can purchase a 20mm version it would be very much appreciated!

They have tons of straps on Amazon, I love that they have a version with the Morse code on it - too bad Morse code is dead, or we could chat about watches in morse code over shortwave!

I too like the rubber NATO, but would like to see a side shot to see how tall it makes the watch sit on the wrist.

Here you go....doesn't really add any height whatsoever.

My main issue with NATOs is they stay wet for hours, I love this new rubber strap!

Looks great, Marc! Bet it's comfortable too.

Might have to order one myself.

I picked one of these up from Watch Gecko. Love this strap. It's my favorite NATO, next to the OEM Omega fabric straps. I installed it on my Omega 300MC. The hardware is really top quality.

I have two BC straps and really like them. Great quality at a great price! I will definitely look into getting one or two of these.

These need to be about 2 inches longer and I'd be on board. I like the folded look at the end.
