Do any of my fellow Pelican/watch geeks need a 20mm Bond/Nato strap?

It's new and unworn other than test fitting... which it failed. It's a 20mm and I need a 22mm. Figured I see if anyone here wanted it for $15 shipped before I put it back on Ebay.

$15 for strap and watch - sold!

Since I think you are talking about just the strap, I'll take it...

[Danny_Ocean]

I need one. Mine is about rotted off my wrist.

Thanks Don. The mark-up on these things has to be huge with them selling for around $20+shipping. I like it more than I thought I would on the Citizen. I'm sure I'll like it even more without the gap!

Not a watch geek??? I thought that was required for Pelican membership. The strap is a late 60's thing... showed up in a Bond movie and is a popular replacement band for diver/military watches.

First, it's non-metallic, so if you are working around something electrical, you don't have to worry as much. Second, it captures each pin separately, so if you are diving and knock your watch on the reef causing a pin to pop, you will still have your watch. Third, it dries quickly. Rubber straps tend to trap water between your wrist and the band. Fourth...Bond wore it.

It's in the mail Don. Thanks!
