First time using the Marine National strap by Erika’s Straps. A good walk in the countryside seemed most appropriate 🚶

Thanks Mike! So far very comfortable which is great. If you have the latest version of the Explorer I’d recommend curved spring bars as you get some extra room for the strap to pass through 👍🏻

I have the 39mm so I should stick with the regular spring bars?
I’ve not personally tried the 39 but as I understand, it doesn’t have the issue the new ones have of the spring bars being very close to the case. Double check first though as I’m sure the info is out there!
MN much better quality. It's amazing the difference between the knockoffs and the real thing. Well done.

I had heard NDC do the actual originals, would you consider Erika’s Originals a knock off? The quality seems good but I’ve not had any other MN straps to compare to
I'll have to check those out. I can't speak with authority. They could be great. Hands on would be best, but I want to see what they look like.

This article speaks highly of Erika's originals. They speak of high quality. She uses the same material that MN used.

Well found 👏🏻 I don’t have the original fabric although maybe in future I’ll get one. It’s only available in 21mm and the Explorer is 19mm so I got that. I think it’s slightly different as I’ve noticed a sheen which I wasn’t expecting. But it fits nicely and is very comfortable and well made so hey, no worries there 😅
