yellowdogwatchstraps - Waterproof Rubber Made to Measure Nato Watchstraps. Toughest on the planet!
I have just found and ordered 2 custom rubber straps from yellowdogwatchstraps.com located in the UK. I have been searching for the perfect strap for my lifestyle and so far I have tried quite a few nato, Zulu and MN style straps and I like them all, but they are not perfect as the webbing and elastic style stay wet for a while. I am also pessimistic about MN clasps in the surf. I shy away from the 2 piece rubber oem bands due to possible spring bar failure. If you have ever lost a watch in the water then you can feel my pain. There does not seem to be a plethora of rubber pass through bands on the market. I have seen ZuluDiver, Bertucci and Yellowdog. The Yellowdog ones are custom made to size with different hardware choices etc. Alex has been an amazing communicator and I can't wait to see how the straps perform. Anybody else use his straps or know of any other rubber one pass/two pass, nato, Zulu, etc bands out there?
I’ve never tried a rubber pass through, I assumed it would hold the watch up off my wrist more than I’d like. Looking forward to hearing how this works out for you.
Actually I think the opposite. The rubber strap is 1.5 mm thick and I measured my nato and it is 1.75 and my MN is 1.7.
