Bond nato

I’ve got a drawer full of ToxicNatos rubber and nylon straps. Nice stuff. This is my first ‘Bond’ variant. This one is his ‘Shiznit’ seatbelt style.

Anyway, with casual dress at the office it kinda goes with my tennis shoes, ha!

I never do, but tempted NOT to cut off the extra flap this time.

Yeah I've never understood all the extra strap-flap on NATO bands.

It secures the watch in the event of a spring bar failure.

The extra flap is to keep the watch from sliding up or down on the nato. The single layered section of the nato loops in between the spring bars. This is what keeps it intact if a spring bar fails.

Good for Toxic’s biz, but I keep ordering more and coming back to the “Magnum” strap. It so good. Thickness, flexibility, retro look, just great. Not the greatest pic.
