You Can Buy My Favorite Watch Here + + + S E I K O T U N A + + + amzn.to/2NXII3O (this link will direct you to my amazon store)
Your killing me Cody. I have been fixated on the sbbn031 seiko tuna for a long time. Saving it as a reward for getting my workshop project completed. No more watch videos for 8 months please. This watch fetish is a torment.
IT is a hobby that does not take up a lot of space.
Wranglerstar love watching your videos. I would like to know if you have the hardlex crystal on your tuna. Or if you did what a lot of people do and have an aftermarket sapphire crystal installed. Also if you have the hardlex, have to you gotten scratches on the face. If so can you buff them out? If you can can you make a video and show how to do that. Thanks
Cody, just a heads up Seiko came out with a slimmer solar version of the Tuna. I just picked up the SNE498, which is a modern of the Seiko Gold Tuna. I love it so far. But the original Tuna's are still dear to my heart.
TGV from the Urban Gentry would be pleased to hear you think he’s all knowing. Watches are one of my great passions, and I have learned a lot from the Urban Gentry over the years. I have several NATOs from Toxic which I quite like, and BluShark makes a killer NATO, too. My favorite NATO is made by Haveston, who make NATOs with historical military color schemes.
one thing about your channel I love is you never know what to expect to see, thanks also to mention my friend TGV from the "urban gentry" channel, a noble and humble man knows to share and you do, not only things but knowledge, love all your videos, keep on doing what you do, thank you
Green and Black. Been wearing a green NATO on a watch i wore in Viet Nam back in 1969 -1970, for a year now. Got the idea from your channel and I really enjoy it. Will buy another when this one wears out.
Oh, man. You don't know one of the main advantages of Nato straps. You CAN wash them! Just put some washing powder into a mug, add some warm water there, let the washing powder dissolve, put your dirty Nato strap there, shake the mug a little bit and leave it for 4-6 hours. then take the strap out of the mug, rinse it well - and you'll have your lovely Nato strap as new.
I have a $30 smith n wesson cheapy from amazon with changeable straps, its been great. I like a cloth/canvas strap so much now cause it doesnt pull your arm hair and you can sleep in it comfortably
I am wearing my 4 year old $12 Walmart Diver type watch with beat up green velcro strap. I have a few replacement straps selected in my Amazon cart. I will look at your Toxic Nato ones.
I'm a BIG fan of ToxicNatos and Terry is the Man! They also make some nice sturdy OS springbars that work super well with NATOs... I'm all about the Green and Grey
Your short on NATO straps made me bring new life to my watch ! Thanks a lot
I love his channel! So educational and interesting!
Good vid. By the way Certina make great robust watches for the money - Swiss quality at entry-level prices - check out Certina DS Action (DS = Double Security) - I have two Certina COSC superquartz watches on Certina NATO straps that have proper Certina buckles. Highly recommended.
Good video Cody. I've been using Crown & Buckle NATO Straps for about a year now. Super nice, I'll look into the Wrist Candy straps.
I was actually just looking at nato straps yesterday. I will for sure be buying one now! Thanks for posting!
Well, it's true, you don't know a lot about watches....but I too am digging the Urban Gentry! I can see why you thought you'd be fine swimming with that Hamilton, but ya....you can't, as you found out. When watches say that they're either good for 30 or 50 meters (3 or 5 atmospheres), that means "don't ever swim with them, EVER. If a watch says 100m, 150m, 200m, etc...swimming is cool, though I don't ever get in the H2O with anything rated under 150m. Scott Sherman
That is really good to know about the Hamilton. I was looking at buying one, but as a field watch...it should be waterproof to at least minor swimming.
Really loving my Citizen Eco-Drive field watch. Bought it a couple years ago on a Nutnfancy recommendation and there is not a single negative I can think of. Beautiful watch, just works flawlessly.
I'm a fan of TGV's channel, I've got a Seiko Automatic field watch on a NATO strap of course, you can get the ZULU straps with the extra strap, there is also a Bond Vintage strap available which is quite smart
I like you don’t like the light color because I get them to dirty, but I spray them with spray and wash throw them in washer with load and the come out clean.
Those straps are really good i have had nato straps in the past and they are really comfy to wear and do not dig into your wrist like a metal strap would but i have found that if you wear them alot then they can become a little stinky due to them absorbing the sweat from the top of your wrist and any time your hand passes your nose you get a horrible whiff. If you wash them now and then in the washing machine with your clothes then they are like new again.
Very cool looking watch bands ! Thanks for sharing and keep safe out there fighting wild land fires ! Also , thanks to all those other wild land fire fighters out there who are fight all of those fires along the West too !
Hot water, a stiff toothbrush and a good detergent should clean those straps.....👍🤠
I love my Marathon G.SAR, and Panerai, but a Tuna is definitely on my Wishlist,. (My orange nato band gets filthy real quick too 😀)
Some great straps there I totally agree, they can transform your watch and it’s purpose /application to tasks we undertake.
you almost have more straps than you do loctite 😂
You just know the haters will pick up on this too which is ludicrous! I bet they have a dozen ties in their closet but I guess that’s ok by their standards...
maybe make a video where you are sporting a different strap every time you are in front of the camera lol.
Love your videos they really brighten my day.
I’m wearing my seiko 5 field watch with a green nato.
Cool is it the snk 809
I like it when you do other stuff, leave the watch reviewing to guys like TGV!
Can you please share a link to the different bands?
So... Is a nato strap waterprooff?
Good taste in watch TH-cam channel I am also a sub of the urban gentry!!
Wranglerstar I thought I was looking at a BAR CODE! ||||||😉......
I have a Brilliant idea for when your not upto much ☺
GO out and pickup a massive TV Screen & PS4 & a GTA5 Disc ☺
Set it up in your Shop pop the Disc in and see how long you can drive before committing a crime!
That would be so funny watching you driving around Los Santos stopping at traffic lights and not overtaking any traffic lool 😃
Don't go online 😨
Unless your good with a Snipers rifle and good at Driving & flying then Go For it lol ☺
Cody playing GTA5 for fun?
Aww man that would be a video and so funny too lol.
You know these gaming videos get hits into the Quarter Millions??
Don't knock it till you've tried it ☺
Wranglerstar someone is using ur video on TH-cam, the account is mrsillyspoon and the title of the video is people are idiots pt. 1, your face is the cover of the video
Nice watches.. Just get a G-Shock rangeman and you will NEVER need a watch again. Has it all and you cant break it.
Just throw those dirty bands in the wash with your denim shirts!
1. The're cool
2. The're cool
3. The're cool

Nice spelling
The Derp ?

They are cool= the're cool
unsubscrided on this one
We are sure gonna miss you, Les. Have a good life.
Sometimes I come back here just to mourn you...
Dang Les… we miss you
Why do you need 20 watch bands
It's not 'need', it's want. And why not? Do you only have what you need, or do you own things that you just want? I take it you only live in a one room home, have just one pair of shoes, have nothing just because it's 'nice'?
Why is there more than one toothpaste? Why isn't everyone driving Fords?
keyboard builder but his watch bands are all similar but just different color....but whatever!
He got them from a company
Watch the video.
He only bought 4 or 5. The rest was sent to him.
A Nato strap makes even a Rolex look cheap and boring in my opinion.
Oscar W I mean you don’t wear them to look nice you wear them for the functionality.
What are those measurements in non-metric. Wranglerstar giving measurements in millimeters this channel is going to the dogs LOL
Les Smithfield mm is standard measure when it comes to watches
First time being first!!!👏👏👏👏
Andy Leland and you won?

Nicolai N can I see what you won?
Congratulations! You have more watch bands than my wife has shoes. :-)

I love the NATO bands, and have worn them exclusively for a few years now. To wash them, I throw them into a sock, and add them to a load of laundry. They come out looking good as new!
mbyard356 I usually just put mine in the pocket of a pair of jeans.
I found mine stopped stinking when I showered with it on and put it on the bedside table after to dry out. 3 years and still going strong. Was having to wash it weekly before.
Good
That Marathon probably just needs a service. They have great movements so once fixed it will keep great time for another 7-10 years. Also the Original SAR is a classic now.
Cody, just a little info since I know someone will correct you. Natos and Zulus both come in a single layer of nylon and a double layer of nylon. Zulus call them 3 ring or 5 ring versions.
Differences between most Natos and Zulus is this:
Natos are usually thinner (the original style are), have thinner/square hardware, and usually a two layer nylon.
Zulus are mainly single layer nylon, rounded hardware, and usually thicker material.
My Toxic Rogue strap is a mash up, I use Zulu material (super robust) and nato design of hardware.
Thank you for the info mate! since i have skinny wrists i might choose nato over zulu bc the material is thinner
NATO straps are good for dive watches. Not good to loose a $500 dive watch 80' underwater at night.
Echo Whiskey nobody uses dive watches for diving anymore, we use dive computers now
Call me old fashioned or redundant, but I use a dive watch as backup to my dive computer and carry three dive knives every time I hit the water. You never know what will happen underwater.
In commercial diving we use watches as well. We do not use dive computers because we have to calculate dive time with old school navy decompression tables. The depth gets measured with a pneumatic mechanism by the supervisor at the surface who also keeps the time and dive logs. In contrast to scuba diving, the air is virtually limitless in surface supplied air diving. Many divers however still keep a dive watch with them. It just gives you a feeling of safety and ease of mind and also something to occupy your mind when you have to wait for something alone in the dark.
@@Finis0Terrae I use mine whenever I get hit with in - water deco or surdO2. Nice to admire my watch while waiting with what feels like eternity lol
@@Echowhiskeyone "Two is one, one is none..."
The initial debut of the NATO strap was by the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) in 1973. Back then, there was only one version and it had a singular tone: admiralty grey. Nicknamed the G-10, British Special Forces were required to fill out a G-1098 form before being issued the strap.
The G10 nato originates from 1973. The classic nato strap design long predates 1973, however. Nato straps were used during WWII. Earlier designs using a different keeper system also were used. The concept of the nato strap is much older than 1973
NATO in regards to straps has nothing to do with the military NATO organization
Nice shout out to tgv over at the urban gentry
i never though two of my favorite unrelated channels would ever intersect
Urban Gentry !?! Next you'll be watching Captain Rambunctious ! :>)
I like watches, but usually wear an inexpensive digital because I scratch them up working.
Carl Zirk pick up a saphir glass, my watch have some scratches on the band but the glass remain fresh and immaculate
I was wondering how he wears them so much doing what he does like the firefighting and doing home work around the farm.
I wear a Victorinox Original Crono. Considered cheap by a lot of people (expensive for me). its been 3 years in an engineering environment on the factory strap (nato type). the bezel has what could be described as a "patina" and the face has held up well to occasional light welding splatter.
Watches are made to be worn!
Got a buddy who buys stuff but never wears anything out. I'm the opposite, why spend all that money to not use something?
I like the toxics. But I payed $20 for one toxic strap. He overprices them
$20 is a good deal from Toxic. I paid close to $40 for mine shipped, but it is the best Nato strap I've owned. I've been through a lot of Amazon specials and have probably spent more on lots of cheap straps that just sit in a drawer now, while my Toxic is my daily. I'd rather spend the money once on a good strap than spending it a lot of times on cheap inferior products.
Not got a toxic one I got a cheap one from Amazon that was amazing and comfy decided to get another one from the same place abs wasn’t as nice
Guess I need one of those bands.. I wear a Garmin Fenix .. expensive expensive but my daughters bought it for me.. real handy for what I do because I can link it to my Garmin Alpha tracker and track my hounds just by looking at my wrist .. kinda handy when your riding a mule ... anyway I really don't like the band in came with.. and with it costing over $600.00 it would be nice to have a safety ... Thank you
Nutnfancy influence! Cool!
Wearing a NATO strap yesterday saved my watch when my springbar failed during some vigorous physical activity. Was very glad I wore that band yesterday.
Not to be a shmuck but your technically supposed to wear a watch behind your rosy bone It’s usually more comfortable also it doesn’t slid around. You won’t have to wiggle your wrist to get the watch to slid back. The band also won’t bend or dig into you.
I was wondering when your forest fire fighting season would start, be safe out there.
That Seiko is beautiful. Hope to have one myself someday.
Cyrus they aren’t too expensive. I know that is relative but they are great watches and last a lifetime. Consider buying used or even looking at a “grey market” site like Joma Shop
Ha! My wife makes fun of me for watching the Urban G too
So I bought the cheap one from amazon it is a green with large black d rings, I wear it every day and it's totally comfortable. I wouldn't write them off so quick. Also, I use it with my Samsung S3 smart watch and it works great except because of the design the heart rate monitor doesn't work. No biggie though.
What's important about being first?
Bill O'Brien ask ligma
Nothing. These kids now just want to feel special and important for doing absolutely nothing
Wow. I never thought I'd give 2 bleeps about watch straps, and I was right.
Didn't wear a watch since smart phones came out ha ha ha ha
Funny
you gave enough “bleeps” to leave a comment, Derp
brienb1770, did you just say derp in 2018? Shame.....
I appreciate veteran owned business, but I found Crown & Buckle make the best straps around.
Did he just use the metric system without getting mad????
I didn't think it was possible either! It must be that snazzy new orange band that distracted the mind...
I love the perlon straps. Good colors, very comfortable and as u point out infinitely adjustable . On Amazon- they should add to the color choices.
I don't understand why I have notifications on and I'm getting the notification for this video four days late? Weird
Soak the dirty band in some laundry detergent and water for a day. then throw the band in the washing machine with the dirty laundry. Will come out clean as new.
Or wash it in a dishwasher.
**LOLOL = I have had the same CASIO for as long as I can remember {FROM WALMART}!**
aaah tex Casio makes some great watches
aaah tex casios - especially the cheap ones are great little watches. They don’t have the prestige of a Rolex, but they’ll stick with ya through thick and thin.
What model Casio do you have, may I ask?
Be N S O N I have a Casio Duro
Horology is the study of time keeping.
... wait.... 22 mm.... the METRIC system.... ?
LOL nice to see you are comfortable with at least one aspect of the metric system....
Cheers!
PS we need to get that woodturning video done!
Also like TGV’s Urban Gentry Channel and the WCWC NATOs. Love my Seikos as well
I bought an OD green nato strap after your EDC video and I can’t go anywhere without some chic asking about my watch! Who knew a green strap on a fossil would be so eye catching! I certainly find it so much more comfortable than the metal band and as an locomotive electrician the metal band is a No Go anyways!
I bought toxic btw
Tristano has been a huge influence on my watch collection, his channel is great 👍🏻
Got one years ago based on one of your previous videos and its simply great. Comfortable, strong, carefree. I almost never take it off...even wear it to bed.
Haven't watched the video yet... but i would say the best watch band is.... one you made yourself. I make paracord, leather, or or custom woven bands for friends and family, and everyone who has one I've made loves them. Why, they are made from the heart.
Tristano is a good friend of mine. It's really cool to hear that you watch his channel! Check out the FB page Urban Gentry watch club. Great place to learn and share your watches.
Cheers.
WTHeck! I have been a subscriber for a couple of years, and when I sat down tonight, Wranglerstar was not in my list of subscriptions!! Sorry Cody... I had to re-subscribe tonight. I wonder what other subscriptions have mysteriously disappeared. I'm losing confidence in the TH-cam platform. Love your channel!!!
No one is forcing you to watch, Austin. What are you doing here?
Tenspeed TheBikeHanger expressing an opinion is allowed here. Not to mention a right.
Try scrubbing them clean with a bar of ivory soap! Works for me to de-stinkify mine! :-)
I was having to do that weekly. Changed to wearing it in the shower and letting it dry on my nightstand overnight. Haven't had to scrub it for near on 2 years now.
So either it works or I've gotten used to the smell...
Either your sniffer is out of order or you have "THE" solution! I will try that for a while to test it out! Thanks! :-)
Dave T. Do so at your own risk! haha
My watch is rated for under water so I will be ok! Disclaimer accepted! :-)
I tried that with my Seiko 5 because its also water resistant but it's still hella stonkin so i guess i'm back to scrubbing them weekly!
Thanks for sharing the collection!
I was avoiding watching this video... watch bands... who cares...
Ok, I watched it.
I like the blue one with a stripe that you like.
I wonder what my Breitling would look like on one...
Argh...
I love the winders! They are EMP proof!
So, If that green one was what you wore all last Summer,why did you change?
I have the green, black, blue and grey. Really enjoy all 4 colors. These bands are very practical and comfortable. Thanks for sharing the brand names with us.
Awesome, thank you!
There is this invention called a "Washing machine" , you could use that on those straps maybe ;)
Enjoyed this video, Cody. I think I’d be nervous using a cheapy band on a $1,000 watch though!
Good point
I was just looking at the bond natos yesterday! They are my favorite, a total classic
I would recommend a BluShark nato strap. They have a type of nato strap for everyone. www.blusharkstraps.com.
Also I love watching tgv because his passion for watches.
Rule no.1 about Horology.
DON'T START IN HOROLOGY😂
That extra layer is annoying.
Worn Nato strap on my casio f-91w for 15 years.
Who would have thought Wranglerstar is a fellow member of TGV?!!!
I'd argue that what you claim to have destroyed, is just being broken in. Much like your waxed pants, the dirt and grime tell a story of use and in my opinion add a bit of desirable patina. keep up the good work!
lovely straps until you are trying to get out of something in a hurry and that dandy nylon strap catches on something and there you are stuck. An expanding band is not as pretty but easy to get out of if necessary.
Your video are really nice to watch but damn you are bad at coming out with any decent video title. By putting a title that is about what you talk, you will reduce by 10 the amount of dislikes you get, and TH-cam will be a more enjoyable place for everyone.
Maybe try using a fabric protector (like Scotchgard) on the orange light-colored straps.⌚️
If you ever pull a Schwarzkopf like TGV, the comments would go mad! 😤
Rolex, no? I am a military man and live by the toughness of them. I understand the price conversation. But if you have one, it will always be a family heirloom.
Where is the legendary Loctite Mr. Wranglerstar?? :/
Drab green is my favorite color. Wearing it now
There is absolutely no logical reason to have two layers on a Nato apart from looking crap with the bulky bit sticking up from your wrist.
Blah, blah, blah... Cut to the chase, man.
I like the style you got red of can I buy them from you? Let me know and I’ll pay you to send them to me
You spend to much money on worthless stuff.
Those NATO straps are metric!
Did he say screw down bezel lol??
