I was recently made aware of this company, Bon Temps Bands (https://www.bontempsbands.com/). They do custom embroidery on NATO straps. It made me wonder if there was any interest in a MoT NATO strap? A regular seatbelt NATO with the MoT clock logo embroidered on it.
Bon Temps' pricing is high. Their list price is $80 for a seatbelt strap. In conversation with them they said they could do $60 each if they got an order of 10, and better discounts for more orders.
Here are some examples from their site.
That's still a ton of money for a NATO strap. I have some local connections that may be able to do it cheaper, but I thought I'd test the waters here to see if there was any interest.

I'm generally not a nato-style guy, but I would obviously make an exception for a project like this.

Same as Matt, but I would for sure be in for this.

Re: MoT Custom Nato Strap
Sorry, but to me that is a ridonkulous price for a Nato, embroidered or not. That’s 3 vintage pieces...
Re: MoT Custom Nato Strap
Probably out for this one. Can't justify a $60 NATO, but love the concept. I'd be interested if you can source locally at a cheaper price. Still holding out hope for the MoT/LWDS 62mas
Re: MoT Custom Nato Strap
How about a Cheapest Nato seatbelt and a little iron-on patch?
I wish that watch were 38mm?
