[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4077954, member: 3099"] OK based on suggestions here on OSA I've acquired a small sampling. Crown & Buckle - went with the Chevron adjustable with single layer option. Ritchie - off of Amazon. C&B: Nice strap, nice hardware. I probably shouldn't have went with the single layer option and will likely pick up a couple more in the standard NATO strap configuration. I was under the impression that I'd prefer a single layer of strap under the watch, but after wearing the Ritchie which DOES have the normal two layers, it's not an issue. Now I'm nervous about a spring bar breaking and my watch launching off into oblivion with the single layer. :screwy: Ritchie: Seriously discounted from Crown & Buckle's price. Strap material is slicker and softer than C&B. Whether that will translate to less durable over time remains to be seen. Wasn't expecting the hardware to be nearly as nice as C&B, but it's quite close. Ritchie seems to be a real competitor to C&B, or is it the other way around? A nice surprise considering these are under $20. [/QUOTE]
