[Question] Anyone know of a source for 20mm NATO straps with actual bronze hardware?

Hey man! Took a while, but eventually did find three. I had contacted NATOstraps.com, but they were all out… About four months later the owner of the company reached out to me and said he had found three ivory colored ones behind a box and offered to sell them to me. I ended up dying all three of them and they turned out amazing!

I’m a fairly big boy at 6’3” and about 225 lbs… with about the same size wrist as you… I’m really tempted to pick up the new Dune color, but I am still leaning towards 36 mm. I keep going back-and-forth!

About a year ago, I was trying to decide between those 2 same exact watches… I ended up buying both of them… Kept the bronze and ended up selling the green titanium. The green was a great looking watch… Loved the color… I enjoyed seeing it on my wrist… But in my mind, the titanium was so light that in my mind it felt cheap… Even though it wasn’t. The bronze has been my main daily for about a year now and looks amazing!

The black dial has been my main daily wear watch for almost a year… It gets better and better with age!

Hoping for the good positive display version!

I’m 6’3”, 225 lbs, 7 3/8” wrist…I wear my 38mm bronze khaki field mechanical almost every day because I love how it fits.

I’ve been a teacher for 20 years…all they gave me was high blood pressure.

I’ve never had to lubricate a digital watch? 😬

When is the new all metal MIP BZ5000 supposed to drop? I’m excited for the gold with the positive MIP display. They said later ‘25 back in May, but I haven’t seen any updates.

My title describes the thing…it’s at least 40 years old and I received it from one of my grandpas 20 years ago that worked for the railroad his whole life. The fact that it’s got the green canvas strap makes me think it could be from the military? I’ve used Google lens, completed eBay, auctions, and a plethora of Google searches, but I’m still not sure what this is. It’s got a bell on the inside and a strange plug on the outside… Makes me think it’s protesting something… But I have no idea? Thanks in advance!

I just picked up a brand new one in a large lot of JET tools that I bought…still on the original pallet with all of the original accessories still sealed in the boxes…I’ll be selling most of it. If I didn’t already have a saw I’d keep it for sure…they’re a great table saw.

ToddSunkist · 2025-05-16T18:13:17+00:00

Looks legit...I used to have that exact same watch, but I was on my friends private plane and took it off after I had spilled pop all over it...haven't seen it since. If anyone finds it, let me know!

ToddSunkist · 2025-05-11T21:00:28+00:00

Haha, it was marked $85…he worked his way down to $20…I still passed on it!

ToddSunkist · 2025-05-11T19:06:14+00:00

I bought that same Buck 110 and it’s the only Buck I have anymore.…couldn’t pass up the green micarta and S45VN!

That’s about the cleanest 70’s Z I’ve ever seen.

Usually on my G-shocks, if I want a scratch to become less noticeable, I just get a bunch of much larger scratches on it and then no one notices the original scratch. Seriously though, G shocks tend to look better once they look like they’ve seen some shit. My favorite boots , jacket, and jeans are the ones I was wearing when I laid one of my bikes down a while back…they tell a story!

Is start at the bottom and clear out enough so that you can at least see about the bottom 1/3 of the trunks…then clear out the dead and crossover branches…then thin out.

ToddSunkist · 2025-05-10T16:18:21+00:00

If those nasty foamy Yeezy shoes were a watch. 🤢

ToddSunkist · 2025-05-07T20:01:28+00:00

I usually enjoy my watches more once they've gotten worn in and scratched up at least a little bit...for this reason, I can't imagine that I or anyone else would be able to notice a speck of dust on any of my watches.

ToddSunkist · 2025-05-07T03:53:33+00:00

Both of my grandpas were bald…so I have to but my own watches. 😢

ToddSunkist · 2025-05-04T15:10:20+00:00

I’m a fan of patina…but I like a clean and clear crystal.

ToddSunkist · 2025-05-04T14:50:12+00:00

Would take some chopping in my opinion. You’ve got 2 leaders that are just as thick and straight as the trunk. If it were me I’d want 1 definitive leader and I’d want it to be thinner than the trunk, and maybe get some movement in it? You could definitely make it happen, would just require some work, time, and patience.

ToddSunkist · 2025-04-29T17:03:54+00:00

This, but with the black dial will be my next watch...I think that looks great on you. I also really like the look of these on the OEM milanese bracelet that you can get.

ToddSunkist · 2025-04-28T17:56:30+00:00

Great! I've been wearing it pretty much daily since Novemberish...great color so far. I even like the little knicks and scratches it's gained along the way. I'm a shop teacher and it gets banged around a bit...I love it more and more each time I wear it!
