Any recent impressions on new CNS Paratrooper style straps? Has the design changed enough to make them usable? I picked up the Glycine bronze watch from ShopHQ, and there are a couple of bronze buckled Paratroopers going for cheap there. But didn't want to jump if if they're still a headache. Doesn't look like the online pics on the site show the three hole sliders like mentioned way up thread.
I never progressed with these straps. I went down the path of buying MN straps off AliExpress and then getting them resized for a better fit.

Thanks. I was looking that direction to, but there aren't any brass look hardware that are both available and reasonable.

I actually prefer the single pass stretch straps, or even stretch NATO's. The MN style straps I've sometimes missed the hook and had the metal hook flip back around to impact the watch face. Hooking them is kind of annoying.

For reference, this was what I was seeing on CNS (note the two hole slider still).
