New Threads for Explorer

I was trying to find a higher quality leather strap for my explorer and I couldn't decide. I finally bought 2 inexpensive natos from c&b. What do you think?IMG_4994.jpgIMG_4997.jpg

Although I'm not a NATO fan, those two look pretty nice.

I just put a leather nato on mine as well, and ordered a couple more straps for it. Yours looks great! :)

Not a fan of natos. I do, however, think a normal leather strap looks awesome on the EXP.

Looks great! Here's mine. I was using it while sending the bracelet off to Michael Young.

I prefer the Explorer with its original oyster stainless steel bracelet.
