    A 1963 is absolutely on my list! Quite honestly, I see very little in fakes on AliExpress, maybe, because I do not go for watches under 20 bucks in quartz or under about 40 with an NH35A. I have seen a few "Grand Seiko" branded "originals" for 15 bucks (I mean, come on, I can save 10K, seriously?), but that is actually really rare! Over all, my trust factor for AliExpress homages is on the high side, and I have 2 of them, a 70's tonneau W10 Hamilton/CWC homage and a sort of Hamilton Khaki in 39mm with a W10 dial, but that is just about its own original field/pilot watch. Both are excellent time keepers with their TMI(Seiko) NH35A calibres!

    The holes are not reinforced though there is still 2 layers of material. This is only beneficial if a watch has non removable bars. A durable 2 piece nylon strap with reinforced holes would be much better. This is only a longer one piece strap that wraps around so this is not anything special.

The one I had looped all the way and had the strap connection on the end, so it was smooth all along the sides. Didn't have to have connections on the outer sides. Had a tightening solution like you have on backpack straps, where the material just folded into it. If you know what I mean. Sorry my english is not that great.

    Having a NATO for me is mainly the security that is the watch is hit and a sprinbar is broken, the watch won’t fall. Having the double textile, the bulky end but not having that security to gain those mm in thickness: there are lots of textile straps out there with no double thickness in all strap neither the end tail loop
