Over the past year I made some new friends on IG and in real life with collecting military watches and straps.
Some of the gorgeous aged and vintage admiralty gray straps have come up and are fairly affordable. From $10-$400 you’ll see when searching for them
They come in so many different patterns and ages from the 60s through 90s that I’ve found. They’re all heat melted together and the hardware have great different fonts stamped for width size on the back of the buckles.
I’ve found them in 18 and 20mm sizes
Many were given out on CWC watches that were issues and the color variation is just so addicting.
Phoenix straps makes some great modern day interpretations but the originals still draw me in.
Anyone else gotten into these?

Re: Vintage issued RAF Nato straps
I came across someone making them in Thailand I think. I believe I came across him on FB, they were pretty nice straps. Was seriously thinking of ordering one. I'll see if I can find him.
Edit...This guy. Really nice one's
