Really like the strap and it works perfectly with that white face on the Timex. Well done.

I snagged the same watch a few weeks ago for like 25 bucks at Target with a coupon! Still have the green strap it came with, which I kinda like.

Thanks much! This is my first NATO strap watch, and my first time swapping the strap, so I’m glad that the combo I chose seems to be working!

Looks like BMW ///M stripes, even if they aren’t in the right order. Good looking out, though!

Nice, mine came with a blue/white/red strap. I would have preferred the green.

Yea I have to agree, I like the Gulf one as well. That site has more variations that I’ve seen in one place.

The weekenders are really nice watches. I may look into this as an option since all the watches I have are dark dials.
NATO straps are cool. One note: when the strap gets dirty/discoloured you can actually just throw it in with your laundry. Depending on how dirty it was to begin with, should come out looking close to new.

I have ssssoooooooooo many straps for my weekender. Amazon and NATO strap Co are what I normally use.
I just sift through and find the color combos I want. It’s really up to the buyer to match the color with what’s already available. Good thing is that there are tons of combos immediately available.
MyGulf one is the same as yours. I have a BMW M colors, a few country flags, more racing livery ones

I have a Timex Weekender that I rarely take off. It takes a beating and keeps going! Not bad for a $40.00 watch!

I can do so later, sure.
Istrongly recommend Nato Strap Co. Their quality makes the straps they sell super comfortable and soft.
Shitty quality on some of the straps can irritate your arm

I have a normal weekender and an Expedition, both of which I really like. I’ve been eyeing up the weekender chrono as well. I have to say the silver with Martini livery band looks really good.

I’ve got a few Weekenders and 8 or so straps. The only one close to a livery is my green/yellow stripe that reminds me of Lotus. My next strap will be this: http://www.luxwatchstraps.com/collections/ge…

I see they have 4 widths on the band. The width in the pics below look like the right fit. What band width did you go with?

I bought the 20mm band. Fits perfectly.
They used a thick leather to make this band, so you can’t slip it through the watch like a regular strap. There’s a cutout on the strap to make it thinner where the watch will be positioned. You have to disassemble the pins holding the strap so you can put it on, unfortunately:
But it’s a damn gorgeous strap.
