Great review and yes that was also a great interview you did with Larry. The first thing I ever bought from him were some spring bars for my Seiko divers because Larry’s have the shoulders which aid immensely for strap changes. Went back for his Oyster bracelet for my SKX and I plan to pick up a V.2 waffle strap in the near future. I’m more than happy to support his business not just for the quality of the products but for his charity work. He’s one of the good ones.

Hi Steven, thanks for commenting. Yes it was a pleasure to do this interview I was lucky Larry let me make it! Great guy!

As soon as I saw the tropic strap I thought you should put it on the Speedy. That tropic looks fantastic. Thank you for another great video Sam :)

I have a Seiko SNZH57 FiftyFive Fathoms on order and think that the US Tropic strap is REALLY going to look great on it!!!

looks amazing on the speedmaster! i just received this strap in a 22mm and put it on my skx009 because i was going on an outdoorsy vacay and wanted a nice rubber strap for it.

I think the v2 waffle is what I like, the look. I would probably like the tropic too but I just like the waffle look better. As for the chocolate bar strap those holes being so far apart might be a problem.

Awesome

I honestly never found this to be the case on my ones if that helps.

Love the channel. Keep up the good work. I saw someone on a forum claim that the tropic straps from cheapest nato straps are exactly the same as the Uncle Seikos at a much lower cost. I ordered some and I can't tell a difference at all. They seem to be exactly the same compound, they even have the same size spring bar holes. I would recommend checking out the cheapest nato strap if you are looking for a tropic.

Hi Dennis, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I actually bought one of the cheapest nato ones long before I heard of uncle seiko and I couldn't have been more disappointed actually. The ones I had were very very thick. I couldn't actually get it on the watch I wanted to put it on due to the thickness at the ends. Also they were not flexible at all and the design for the moisture holes was different form memory. If you have time you should watch my interview with Larry. Even if they have improved them on the Cheapest NATOS site the interview will go someway to showing why I wouldn't go anywhere else for mine kzread.info/dash/bejne/rJWItZeym6ytnqg.html

Thanks for the review! I tried the Uncle Seiko's tropic strap once (in 19mm size) and honestly I wasn't too impressed with the quality. How is it compared with this Waffle 2.0? And... where did you get that beautiful Omega style Nato strap installed on the Moonwatch? :-)

Hi, the v2 are a lot more flexible than the first ones but still have that sturdiness to them that I quite like. The NATO is actually from Moose Straps a Canadian company. I did a full review if you check the video feed. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@CasualWatchReviews Honestly, most people pay big $$ for branded straps, well branded anything really and most of the time (99% of the time) it's all made in the same sweat shops by the same manufacturers for an identical product, then some company pays a little extra for a logo. My point is, all these reviews about watch straps make me laugh because technically speaking, they are almost reviewing the exact same strap just with different logos. Technically, the only thing that should be reviewed is whether you like the logo or not, not the strap- or how much you want to hand over of your hard earned $$- Albeit, the original Swiss versions that now are now NOS- and sell for insane prices, were only around $1.50/2.00 when they first came out many years ago and quite poor quality at that- All these reproductions, no matter who makes them, all come from China and whether you're paying $80, 800 or 8bucks - they all cost less than 50c to make!

Rubbish straps won't last a year. They will just crack and break apart. Had 4 of them before, 2 waffles and 2 tropics. Cheap and not good
