SUSPENDED: Kickstarter: Strapholic - NATO Style Elastic Webbing Nylon Watch Strap
Strapholic’s back on Kickstarter with their latest project, a NATO Style Elastic Webbing Nylon Watch Strap.
*Note* - They have had four successfully funded projects before and two that were unsuccessful or canceled.
Early Bird pricing for one strap is $24
Early Bird pricing for two straps is $45
Early Bird pricing for four straps is $85
Estimated delivery is August 2019
Not sure how hardware and materials compare to similar straps on the market. Or if pricing is good or better than what can be purchased without waiting.
But a little digging and it appears some of these straps are available to purchase now directly from Shopholic for $30

These look exactly like the "marine" straps you can get on AliX for $7...

Exactly. “Designed in Hong Kong. Hand-crafted”.
Unless they show something entirely original, this is just plain lying.

Yeah I'm calling bs. They're literally the exact same colorways as the AliExpress ones. Like 1:1. Might even be the same picture as one of the listings I saw

Re: PREORDER: Kickstarter: Strapholic - NATO Style Elastic Webbing Nylon Watch Strap
Anyone have links to the Ali straps for comparison?
Kickstarter has taken down a campaign before for selling already made goods if I recall.

Already-made goods aside, you can get the same style strap from Watch Gecko for $2 less than the early bird price ($22) now, rather than having to wait for this to fund and ship.

How did you get the links to work? Any tricks? Not once ever have I clicked on an AliExpress link and been taken to the intended URL. Always just to some version of the main page. Maybe it's bc I don't have an account? I get tired of bothering people to ask what to type into the AE search bar so I basically just ignore any links or deals from the site.

I didn't copy the link as a url, but just copied it as text.
Then pasted that into a browser and then let it link out from there.
When clicking through directly or copying the embedded url, it never worked.
But just copying the actual text of the url and then using that to link out seemed to work for me.
