    This is my go-to for NATO and Zulu style straps. I do what you said at the end (but I don’t reverse the buckle side) and keep all the hardware on the bottom of my wrist.

      Yeah keeping them at the bottom makes it more balanced 😁

    The problem with this is when you fold that small strap back and out of the way, it makes it extra bulky on the side you folded it to. The best approach is to cut off that hanging strap. It looks stupid anyways with a metal thing on the side. Cut it off and it’s clean and even and not bulky

      I agree!
      For me, I just buy a nylon strap instead of a NATO strap!
      No need for any extra thick/doubled over strap.
      Each to their own of course but in my humble opinion, NATO straps are not an option for me.

      Exactly. Or, invest in a single-pass strap.

    Genuine question, aside from historical reasons is there a reason for Nato straps not just being single pass?
    On a side note this video was very handy as now I’ll likely wear my non-single pass natos more often

    On a properly designed NATO (or other military watch strap) the buckle shouldn't have a spring bar. The buckle should be sewn to the strap. There are a lot of "fashion" military-style straps out there with spring bar buckles. Avoid them.

    Your videos are always interesting. I might buy a NATO strap. I bought a Marine Nationale extensible straps to avoid the double strap under the watch. Keep up your good work. I already subscribed to your channel and put like on your videos.

    Could you measure the length of the strap please? I have one of these but there isn't much excess length after wearing and I don't know if it's cause I'm fat! lol Mine measures 260 mm from the end to end.

    Well, i appreciate the effort but it's still unbalanced... the best solution is to cut the second part for me.

  • @Microtimer1000th
    @Microtimer1000th 10 місяців тому

    This way, I think you can actually use the buckle without the tongue and the flipped keeper as a Double-D ring... like motorsport and high end motorcycle helmets.

    I just cut that second layer off and melt the edge with a lighter. Basically make the Nato strap into a Zulu strap. I see no real advantage to that second layer of fabric underneath the watch

  • @patsonti1703
    @patsonti1703 3 місяці тому

    Just buy a single pass strap. If you find yourself with a dual piece NATO and can't let it go, cut off the extra piece. That said, a single pass is still your best option.

    This is so not the best way. Simply thread through the 3rd loop and put the watch on the remaining half which is single material. Even looks better. 😊
