Good points, never thought about that! While I have never had problems with my leather Natos and springbars (possibly because they are the heavy duty Seiko fat bars?), the fit IS tight and is certainly something worth being aware of!HomoCaballus said:Springbars are not designed to cope with the stress this type of strap puts on them.
In leather the strap is thicker, making matters worse.
It is no coïncidance that many a G10 strap user comments that they were lucky to have the G10 desing as their ´Nato´ retained a dangling watch head; the strap was the cause that the springbar gave up in the first place.
It does sit slightly high, although not higher than Nylon NATOS IMHO - divers and sports watches can easily pull it offHansA. said:Seeing the thickness of that strap, doesn't 2 layers of it below the watch makes it sit high?
How about leather ZULUs?
