Traditional nato: Ute straps (Hodinkee store) or Crown & Buckle supreme nato

Single pass: Haveston or Crown & Buckle Chevron

More fun, more comfortable and more expensive: Erika's Original MN strap
@9thsymph's joking aside, I would say of the Erika's MN - they are more of a PITA to put on your wrist.

Currently have my Speedy Pro on one and I'm still getting the hang of fastening it. Usually takes me 2 or 3 attempts on a good day...

It's like this, but with a **** tonne more expletives:

Hodinkee - www.hodinkee.com - Memorial Day Week Offer: Save $300 on pre-owned watches with the code PW-MDW300

I haven't bought anything recently, but it's one of the only places rom which I'd buy a vintage Rolex.

You probably have the strap adjusted too tight. I about threw my first one away because I could not get it on for the life of me. Later learned that, if it's adjusted too tight, you'll never get that hook in there. Takes about 1 second nowadays.

It's super easy, IME. I have one watch that I wore on an Erika's almost exclusively. After the first week it becomes second nature, certainly faster and easier than a NATO.

I don't know if this was posted here already or not, but this was a good quick read about an everyman who wound up with a Tiffany stamped 5711 and wore the **** out of it.

I’m so sick of hearing about this ******* guy’s sob story. It’s just a watch, bro. Ugliest, most beat up piece of sh*t I ever saw.

Over on Omegaforums, there's a guy who looks like got scammed out of his watch by a youtuber, thetimelesswatchchannel. This guy got famous for saying the 3861 Speedmaster had really sharp edges and could cut paper. Apparently he's also allegedly scammed another guy out of some watches. The watch in question was owned by Humphrey Bogart.

Not directed at anyone in particular (especially not our beloved Jorge Rojo), here’s a shot of my Explorer II on a NATO (made by @DavidLane) telling us it’s time to celebrate another Boca Juniors championship upsetting Racing in the semifinals.

How are people still getting scammed out of watches in 2022?
