Strap switch
These cheap Aliexpress straps are incredibly comfortable and are a better fit than a nato strap. The case fits much closer to your wrist with no adapter necessary. I had purchased adapters for the watches to use with nato straps but these fit right in. The pins make for easy install. Overall, the watch feels lighter and looks amazing.

AliExpress is great to get straps to try on without breaking the bank.
I replaced the Rubber Omega strap my Seamaster came on with an AliExpress $4 strap, proud to send money to Communist China for goods made by God who and what age? Hell no, but if I ordered the same strap through Amazon and paid $86 probably made by same folks at same company. Sad days indeed.

Lawd help us !
90% of straps in production are just re-branded Ali straps. This also goes for majority of manufacturers in the fashion industry via Alibaba.com. AliExpress is pretty much just direct to factory.
AliX is awesome for straps. Though I'm waiting on one from WatchGecko at the moment so I'm not exclusive to China. I'm thinking about taking a punt on WatchGecko's mystery pack of straps. But I know I've already got more than enough!
I have no horse in this race but I can’t say enough about the watch band company BluShark. American and no surprises, you order what they advertise and that is exactly what you’ll receive.
Agreed. Way better than the resin strap you get with them.
