re: Let's see the NATO, or ZULU, band you're sporting (watch thread).

I like tool watches, and I think it emphasizes the hardiness of them. NATO bands fit diver and military watches.

Metal bands do not like dirt, sand, and grit. I have worn link pins completely through in 2 years on a steel band. If you break a springbar on a metal band the watch comes off your wrist. On a NATO you would have to break both spring bars to lose the watch head.
Plus they just look good.

I lost a watch tubing because the nato band broke. And I had to change it several times because it stank before it went to the bottom of belle river.
To each his own. I can't see myself wearing anything other than metal except for leather on a purely dress watch.

I cannot imagine a NATO band "breaking". That band in my picture is 14 years old and it would still support my body weight.
But then again I did run across a Chinese made ratchet strap that I could tear like paper. It had been exposed to UV light for about 9 months.
A quality made NATO is pretty much indestructible.

The next time someone starts a thread that's been run before you should post a picture of that watch.

Well I'm sure the buckle probably broke. Either way, I was minus one cheap timex that I really liked 
Since going metal I don't think I could go back. It doesn't stink. I can't handle the stink.

None of my NATOs stink. You can always wash them

This. An old tooth brush and some soap will clean that band up for a while. When it starts fading, buy a new band.

Mine always smelled like football pads.

Why is it all white wrists?
Black wrists matter too!

I just put mine in a sock and throw it in the wash with the rest of my clothes and then let it air dry. It smells fine.

Too much work. I never take mine off with the metal band

My watch isn't several thousand (only several hundred), but I wear a Zulu because it's the most comfortable to me, especially if I'm at work typing at my desk most of the day. I do also wear my bracelet and a ostrich skin strap at times.

Thread's alive? It's about uniqueness, style...sure you could wear a bracelet everyday, but you could also wear leather or nylon...the people who don't change it up are suspect IMO.
Posted on 3/5/16 at 1:05 am to Gaston
To each his own. I have a couple of leather straps but I prefer metal.
Some of the NATO bands look cool enough, but they are just not my style.

I can't wear leather or nylon every day. The shite gets nasty and worn out. Metal never holds moisture, doesn't stink, doesn't crack and fall apart, ect.
I take mine off to work out. I've had it on 23 hours a day with few exceptions for two years and it still looks brand new. metal>others

I think I'm going to get a black Stowa Antea small second as my next watch, how does the pricing on their watches work? I'm guessing we don't pay VAT because we aren't a EU country, but do we have to pay taxes on it to receive it here in the U.S.?
Posted on 3/5/16 at 12:25 pm to Epic Cajun
I'm in love with this watch. Broke my heart when I realized it costs close to 4 grand. I've never owned a watch, and wouldn't spend more than $100 on one.
If anybody knows of a similar watch, that's cheap as hell, I'd appreciate it.
