Crown & Buckle Knit Chevron - great Tudor alternative!

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a straight black adjustable single-pass strap for a while and was a bit skeptical of the knit Chevron from Crown & Buckle as it was the only strap that fit my criteria from an established company. Received it in the mail yesterday and it's fantastic. It's not as silky as I expected from photos, in fact it's not a very soft material, but it's super comfortable and feels very high quality. 

Anyone else got OEM strap alternatives?

I think these are like 90% of the quality of the Tudor at a fraction of the price. I also think their matte supreme NATO is 90% of an Omega NATO.

If you spend a little more, the Artem NATO is every bit as good as Omega's. I think the fabric isn't quite as soft, but the hardware and construction is actually superior.

I'm also a big fan of the Artem Sailcloth, but I've never had an OEM Sailcloth to compare it to.
