Another endorsement here for the rubber NATO. I got this from watch gecko. As you can see, there's a bit of excess strap on my scrawny 6.5 inch wrist, but it doesn't bother me enough to trim it. The excess just about reaches past the spring bar if I were to hold it down.

20mm Nato 328 now available for all our rolex/tudor subs. Placed my order moments ago.

Just ordered mine today in 22mm for a Ranger

crombie · 28 May 2016, 10:37 AM

Is there plain black or is it the sandblasted black? My eyes can't tell and I want the black....

Thegr8one · 29 May 2016, 09:24 AM

That is just the style of buckle. The polished buckle isn't available on the 20mm strap it seems. The strap is true black.

I'm trying to find something for a kayak marathon (and associated training). Nylon's OK, but I don't like the retained wetness in mucky water.

Was just about to order one of these 20mm 328s; but noticed, unlike a 298, the 328 buckle appears to have a springbar in it.
[When the entire purpose of a G10 strap is watch security, that would be show-stoppingly counter-intuitive! :( ]

Are my eyes deceiving me?!

No, your eyes are fine. But I'd expect the rubber to tear way before a spring bar would fail anyway.

Thanks for the confirmation Dan (although, I would have the opposite expectation! :) :) )

A awesome watch made even better!

withthesword · 30 May 2016, 08:17 AM

just ordered one. i've got a 8" wrist, but i'll give it a try anyways

stil · 3 June 2016, 09:49 AM

Just ordered one in black as well. Hopefully it arrives before vacation!

Brauner Hund · 4 June 2016, 12:54 AM

Some of you might be interested in this:
I was put off the 328 by the springbar buckle. A bit of googling found Yellowdogwatchstraps. I ordered a slightly weird bespoke: I wanted the buckle tab sewn externally and 2 ring rather than G10. Alex (of Yellowdog) also sewed the 2 rings slightly loose than normal for me.
First impressions: he's produced exactly what I wanted!

Looks cool. I purchased a rubber strap once in Amazon not sure the brand but it smelled like vanilla. Huge turn off for me. No need for a strap to smell like vanilla. Weird.

Yellowdog rubber nato. Very light, comfortable and flexible.

Just got a BC 328 for my BlackBay and it's great in pretty much every department ! Great finish, quality feel, incredibly comfortable, top notch hardware, but..........

Why did they have to use so much Vanilla essence on it !!!! I need to find a way to tone it down because it is just too much !!!

(Because they don't fool me for a moment ! this is plain cooking-variety vanilla essence that was added for nostalgia purposes !)

jbro352 · 26 July 2017, 06:44 AM

Any thoughts on how well this strap holds up over time?

Which one? I have the BC version and it is really good. But it holds in sweat/moisture, so I will stick with nylon natos. They dry really fast.

I own 2 BC natos, one for close to two years. It's wearing just like it did when purchased. I intend to buy more for my 20mm lug watches.

good to know dudes, thanks

moorery2001 · 27 July 2017, 01:18 AM

That looks great! Have you guys heard of Rubber B? It's a rubber strap that I'm looking to get for my GMT master. Any advice on it would be greatly appreciated!

cburgs56 · 27 July 2017, 01:20 AM

Looks good

Jaypee · 27 July 2017, 04:59 AM
