[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4352495, member: 46104"] The HD NATO from C&B is 1.6mm thick, quite beefy for nylon, but soft once it breaks in (or thrown in a buttoned pocket and washed), and only places it tight are slightly raised welded edges/holes, although constant removal/replacement will no doubt cause edges to fray sooner. The one-piece version will scuff case back to some degree, but if a bar fails, the watch is still there. They sell a two-piece, but am unsure if it could be wrestled in and not cause insanity. I wouldn't expect any difficulty at all with any NATO of more standard thickness. The equipped springbars sure didn't have much of a collar to grab with a tool. PS- I'd think any 22mm normal leather strap with quick-release/no-tool/no-fighting-tight-fitting-strap-for-tool-access springbars would work, not like I had to fight my HD NATO to get it on or off the multiple times I've already done so since night before last.
