Sometimes aftermarket is better.

I just could not deal with the stock Velcro strap that came with the FXD, no matter how hard I tried. I prefer this ribbed nato from WatchGecko 1000%

Looks great.

Great match!

I don't know why Tudor made that watch with a fixed spring bar 🤔

For the French Navy per their request. A beautiful design. I love that it has fixed lugs

I never wore the oem strap a single day. The Velcro is very poor and I didn’t trust it at all. Love mine on an MN elastic 👍

·

Great pairing 💪

·

Yup, prefer Watchgecko NATO's over my Omega NATO 100% too 👍🏻👍🏻

·

I did the same thing. Mine was more about OCD. I didn't want to wear out the velcro (I know, stupid) so I bought a Nato that suited my FXD.

Velcro is a brand name. As I understand, Tudor didn’t get the license from Velcro, so the quality is terrible. I like the strap, but hook and loop is a pain. Still one of my favorite pieces.

Looks really good on that strap !

Love the red stripe detail that continues through the chrono’s seconds hand!

Same here, love the watch, hate the factory velcro strap, first thing to go. Erika's straps all the way.

Great pairing!

I really like how the WatchGeko NATO looks on the MN, but I found the strap to be too stiff. If anyone wants to buy a very lightly used one, DM me.

That's definitely a good colorway combo 🤙🏽

Yorkshire watch strap off etsy works for me! Had to remove a little bit of velcro around the metal loop so it wouldn't bend the velcro too, but overall fit & finish is very similar to the OEM. Velcro is going to wear out, but it's about 1/3 the price so...
