Re: Old Heuers on NATO Straps: The Great Debate

Manuel,

there are straps that come more or less like the ones you achieve by modifying NATOS - I believe they go by the designation USM straps. The only difference is that the strap keeper is cloth instead of metal (if I understand your "recipe" correctly.

: I like natos on old Heuers. But I think it doesn't work on every
: model. And they most important thing for me is to modify the
: strap. That means getting rid of the second layer under the
: watch. So it's tighter to the wrist. The next thing is to clip
: off the loop that is close to the watch.

: Then it works for me...

: Kind regards,
