I recently switched over to using MN Straps after trying out FKM rubber, steel bracelets, NATOs/Zulu for the versatility in size adjustment but just couldn't get over how thin they fit on my wrist. Coming across WoE on Instagram, I read about the Glomar Explorer and wanted to give it a try based off the countless 5-star reviews. I was unsure about sizing as I fell right in-between Standard and Short but an email to WoE was all it took to sort out that confusion of mine. Very helpful! Just receiv...

The WOE Glomar strap? It is almost prefect. I think it is better than anything else available using Velcro. Not much for looks and the velcro placement could be a lot better for anything past a 7.25" wrist. It is easy to critic, but that doesn't make it bad as is. The majority of details, as in, exceptional quality on the strap material, the super tight keeper and sewing are exceptional. The buckle could be more rounded and tumbled to be more comfortable. and less likely to hang up on anyt...

The Commander 22mm Five Eye was my second Five Eye that I've purchased from Watches of Espionage store. As someone who is in the ocean, lakes, rivers, and the pool regularly, it's nice to know that my Tudor Pelagos 42mm is secure on my wrist, even when worn over or under a wetsuit sleeve when I take it diving and spearfishing. The quality of the Five Eye straps and attention to detail is par none. Knowing you are supporting the best watch account on IG and a small shop that believes in Americ...

I have had this strap for 2 weeks and can already say it is the highest-quality leather strap I have ever owned. The leather is gorgeous. It is smooth, supple, and comfortable, and it adhered quickly to the contours of my wrist. The color is steadfast, but is already evincing a subtle patina that gives it a unique character. Most importantly, for a man who is somewhat clumsy in his goings about, this thing is durable, as any tool should be: it has been exposed to soap, cooking oils, water, and d...

I just returned from a trip to Central Europe. I more the 5 Eye Black PVD NATO strap on my Coke. Of course the black looks dynamite with the red/black bezel and red hand. Even more importantly, I chose it because the nylon strap is less shiny and attracts less attention than the distinctive Rolex SS bracelet. It is also a more secure way to wear a watch. The heavy nylon, welded and sewn attachments with heavy PVDed hardware makes the strap substantial, comfortable and lightweight. It also accomm...

I received my strap yesterday, quick turnaround time. It is my first experience with a WOE strap. Had a chance to mate it to the intended watch today. I really like the way they look together. Both have a similar dark green coloration that's kind of hard to find. It fits and feels very nice around my wrist. I Like the extra utilitarian touches like having a screw holding the buckle in place. I'm not typically a fan of NATO style straps, but this one being single pass and of high quality ma...

Damn! I hate to comment because I have yet to be able to pick up the 22mm version. These things sold out very quickly last time around! Before 6am MST. That said it is a handy and exceptionally well-made tool. Very well, done there! Downside? As stated on the web page, you won't get one on a Glomar. That required going back to the OEM mil-spec Marathon ballistic strap. Perfect fit on the 20mm btw. Probably time to pony up for a WOE strap that will fit. But I'll wait until after the ...

I've a FXD watch from the time of first availability. Great watches, accurate, reliable and concrete tough by all accounts. But of the many straps I have used on the FXD I have never been totally satisfied with any of them. Until now. I actually bought this one just to add a black Glomar. No joke. The strap is that good. I now have the Glomar on both 20 and 22mm sized watches. This strap is worth every penny of its cost to me. Much higher quality and simply a better strap than Tudor's O...

This is a great offer from a watch blog. Plus it’s a Zippo, quality bona fides established. I’ve always been fascinated with lighters, especially Zippos. My parents chain smoked (Don Draper era) I tried once but didn’t inhale (Bill Clinton era) That being said, I’ve always picked up logoed Zippos from my military units and cool places (Airborne Museum, Ste Mere Eglise) and this one is the classic WW II style and has incredible meaningful graphics. I always carried a Zippo when I was in the mili...

FIT - Strap used on a 6306 turtle, with lug width 22mm and lug/springbar distance approx. 4.35cm. Photos show the fit of the Short version. I have small wrists of about 6.35cm in the cold and 6.45-6.5cm in heat. I do find the Short strap to be “maxed out” when I wear comfortably and slightly loose (see photo 4) versus when I wear it really fitted (see photo 3). So the sizing and notes in the listing description is accurate. If in doubt about being in-between sizes like I was, I suggest going f...
