Anyone have any experience with Clockwork Synergy straps? They've got a couple of designs I really like, but their "premium" straps are only $15. https://www.clockworksynergy.com/shop/product-category/nato-straps/premium-nato/ |

Barton lists it as a mix of long and short staple fiber. Attached File Attached File |

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

That said @toxicavenger70 do you know if Rolex makes theirs in house or uses a Swiss firm to do so? It was next to impossible to find some outside an AD and mine said they would have to order them, so I went with yours. |

I have these coming in for my Explorer II. As soon as my springbar tool gets here, I'll be experimenting a bit. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Guess I'll be different with a Tissot V8 on a Bund style strap.

Still wearing this strap on the Samurai. I love it but I need some new straps badly. My Bday is next month so I plan on ordering myself a bunch of new one from Toxic. Attached File |
