If you did not already know Dave (Daveathall) being the lovely soul he is sent me a four British Army issue NATO straps last week as a gift! I was really touched by his generosity and thoughtfulness, what a champ you are Dave! Well, Amazingly what was in my mailbox today but four beautiful straps! Thank you so much my friend, they are wonderful and I am so grateful to you. I hope you enjoy these pictures of one of your lovely straps on my Fellow Chronograph, it matches perfectly and go hand in glove with the original ethos and purpose of this watch I feel.    |

Awesome.
I'm not a NATO guy but that works very well, a perfect fit.
Cheers to Dave for being so kind to send you those.

Dave's a great guy and that was quite the gesture! That strap goes so well with the watch.

Wow, that was quick, must admit that I wasn't expecting them to arrive until next week or even later, sorry about the scribbled note Ian, being on a course I just had time to pop in and get them sent off quickly. The strap looks stunning on your beautiful watch my friend.

The strap looks stunning on your beautiful watch my friend. Its really odd Dave with post between the UK and Canada. If its an envelope it can be here in two or three days, a parcel can take longer due to customs. But its quicker believe it or not to get mail from the UK than it is from the other side of Canada as they truck it across and that is three days and nights on the road! Thank you so much again mate, its perfect and I hope you don't mind but I am going to pay it forward and give one to Carl. |

Looks great on both the blue and grey NATO, Ian.I need to get a Navy one for my blue Snowflake. Way to go, Dave. Very nice gesture, and another example of what makes our forum such a special place to hang out.

Thanks Kat, its the light though. They are all dark grey. Thinking on it the last one is not actually the most accurate as the strap is too light. I reckon the very first one is closest. Will try to take another picture to try to capture the true colour!
