• The official MOD ones are currently made by a company called Phoenix. Genuine ones have no stitching and are welded together with heat.

    You can buy them cheap on eBay sometimes as an auction, or Silvermans also sell them.

  • Phoenix Natos are advertised on Amazon by a seller called "MONKEY SWAG". They look genuine, not sure if they actually are.

    I'm very happy with the NATO and ZULU straps I bought from Watch Gecko, @Tenderloin has one on one of his watches too.

  • I've got a zuludiver branded NATO from watch gecko which had been fine and is pretty comfortable. I had a 5 ring zulu from there as well which was awful though. If you threaded the strap the correct way it but a pressure point on part of my wrist which got sore/irritating after a while. I think this was because the strap was so thick, i had trouble getting through the lug/springbar.
