UNDERATED…watch strap?
I just got this Marlon band-o *nice pun there from CNS the other day, and man does it wear well! Not sure about the built quality not the durability for the future but the style and the comfort is spot on for me. Particularly love the thinness of it.
Not a lot of mention or review of this strap before and the next thing that match this style that i could find is from joseph bonie but multiple times the price 😅
Any other underated strap you have in mind?

I rate Watchgecko Zuludiver NATO's over OMEGA NATO myself - slightly thinner & critically a sewn in buckle.
Also really rate Artem Sailcloth (but so does everyone else, so not underrated)
Discovered Forstner Komfit a few months ago, great NASA history and very comfortable, surprised they don't get more coverage, especially among Omega enthusiasts.
Also these are pretty cool, & an interesting read at the least https://af0210strap.com/

yes 100% agree on watchgecko! ive just have their signature military nylon, probably the most comfortable nato I've ever have!
artem is a bit meh for me, maybe because the expectation is too high? i feel its more stiff than I expected tbh, what do you reckon?

Yeah, they're blummin' awkward to do up - but one they're on they're staying on 🤣👍🏻👍🏻

Got the basic tang buckle Artem Sailcloth in blue (on my AT on WRUW ) & it's noticeably higher quality than the Watchgecko one (but double the price) and I'm impressed enough that I'll buy another two, probably in green with the RM style clasp for one & the proper loopless top of the range jobbie for my sm300.
Stupidly expensive, but I'm more of a strap collector since I got my Grail (sm300) a few years ago so my watch budget goes on straps.
Been also looking at FinWatchStraps, maybe a better alternative to Artem ? Only found them a couple of days ago so still sussing them out.
Cheers mate 👍🏻
I see nice! Hahah yeah same here if i couldnt buy another watch who said we couldnt buy another strap 😅 gotcha i also order some from crown and buckle *thanks to black friday discount got into straps shopping frenzy 😆
