[Closed] Watch geeks - UK made NATO other than Timefactors?

Fancy buying some more colourful straps, and no, I don't want a "Bond" one. 🙂

Timefactors are great for the normal colours, but don't do anything loud! Am thinking orange, bright blue, red, perhaps even a really bright pink one.

Anyone know of any UK companies (preferably!) making such fashion faux pas?

TIA!

Just eBay search "Nato strap orange 22mm".

I just bought a dark green one for my Seiko SKX. I love it, looks great, feels well-made and was only £6. I might buy an orange one for when I'm feeling bold. They're probably made in China though.

(Am wearing pantalons rouge, as it happens...!)

Superficial, would prefer to avoid the 'bay and associated sweatshoppery, hence wanting someone UK made if poss. Timefactors are perfect to deal with, but just don't make what I want!

Good question. I don't know any UK brands but next time a friend goes to the US I want them to bring me back one of these:

You want NATO-style Maratac or Zulu straps, in Orange? Step right up: http://www.broadarrow.net/maratac.htm
They post to the UK, and the quality is as good as you could want, really heavy-duty construction. The orange is very bright, though not dayglo, I've actually got one, though it's not on a watch at the moment.
