New world unlocked
New to watch collecting, I had never really thought about changing watch straps for a new look. I only changed straps out of necessity, replacing worn out ones with identical new ones. Watching people on YouTube talk about strap pairing was a complete revelation. Changing straps for different seasons, occasions…even clothes?? How is it that I have lived so long without realising how easy and fun it is? So much missed opportunity! After a month of metal, I cautiously changed the strap of my Murph 38 to a NATO. What a change! I’ve fallen in love again! So pleased that I had to use my proper camera and take these glamour shots! New skill unlocked, new world available, press start to play! I think I can obsess over new watches a lot less now. Strap hunting season is on!
Teacher trainer but always the student. Lost in the world of mechanical watches. Working towards the dream piece of a Grand Seiko GMT.
Welcome to the real addiction.....straps....😐
So jealous you have the Murph and you get to dress her up 😂.
Welcome to NATO rabbit hole😁
Next, inevitably your search for the most comfortable straps will start.
Try Phenome Straps (aka PhenomeNato). On expensive side for a NATO for sure but it is the most comfortable I have tried after spending $200+.
The only downside is it takes a while before it reaches you. It is hand made by one person so be patient.

I hear you loud and clear! This seems to be a very deep rabbit hole! 😅

I’m a big fan of your Nomos watches! Mutual envy!😄

Thank you so much for the recommendation! You’re exactly right, I am looking at more and better made NATO straps right now! ☺️
