Nomos Ahoi strap rough?

Just put on a Nomos Ahoi strap on my mark xviii. I like the strap itself but it was cut very roughly with the stitching and edges being sharp. Actually have cuts on my wrist from it. Did I just get a bum example or is the workmanship not exactly great?

Mine was ok but in general workmanship not that great on the Perlon strap. Try getting another Perlon from a different company. They're cheap.

Nomos has a great service department. Why don't you reach out to them, explain your problem and see if they can help you out?

Also, fabric straps tend to soften with time...

Call Nomos, their customer service folks will make it right.

But look at Eulit Palma Pacific perlon. They are the perlon Cadillac.

thanks for the responses. the strap itself is ok , it's the edge and stitching that was cut rough.

For the eulit when you aren't wearing it is there something that secures it to the watch itself? Looks like it just loops around the springbars with nothing actually securing it
