60's French Troops Parachute Special Elastic Nylon Watch Band Man's Universal Nylon Strap Army-Green 20/21/22mm

Ok

I don't even mind that it's made in china. Looks beautiful on my Seiko Flightmaster. Would recommend for the price!

It looks like a marine national, but it feels like a cheap knock-off (which it is). The hardware is the jankiest kind of metal and it feels flimsy enough to break. It's also both too big and too loose for the strap. It's not uncomfortable, but you notice it from time to time. That said, it does look very cool on the wrist. The fact that it's elastic makes it wear very comfortably, although the elastic also feels cheap. Honestly, I bought this to see if I was willing to drop $70 on a proper marine national strap, figuring I'd pop this janky one onto a beater watch. In that sense, it did it's job. That said, you'd probably be better off spending a little more and just get a proper one instead.

Bought a nato a while back thinking I was getting one of these and was disappointed when it wasn't. This looks to be the most affordable one I can find and it actually has a 21mm width, perfect for my Flightmaster! Really comfortable and solidly built, would recommend.

It fits better with the smaller spring deals that are included - and you want to be able to slide the entire watch band around as it's the other-half of the adjustment, with the buckle. Otherwise you will wind up with an excessively loose watch band and no way to tighten it.Everything is decent enough otherwise, but you can tell that the material itself is not as good as it could be - a bit stiff and scratchy - and at the same time not as durable. My first one lasted a year before it got all deformed like a jelly-fish - but I was happy with the service, comfort, appearance, simplicity, etc.If you're having issues clamping the buckle here are TWO WAYS. The best way by far is to pre-buckle it and then just stretch it over your hand. Why didn't I think of that that one - huh? And the other way is to loosen the buckle, hook it, and tighten it again. Be sure to tighten that buckle and give the whole thing a pull to seat the hook into the buckle or you'll be having to deal with it again an hour later.
