I really like the material, but the strap with the included slider is unusable for me. I put it on as tight as I could and it still loosened up enough where I felt the watch was unsecured within an hour.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. A customer shouldn't have to modify product or buy additional parts just to have it useable.

If you email her she will send you a proper buckle that has an additional slot to loop the band through and lock it in place.

How would this new buckle work? I just got mine and I actually prefer the material to EO MN. CNS Paratrooper is softer and more elastic. But, I do agree that it’s not entirely secure. I took some side by side pics and as you can see adding one more hardware and one more stitching would make the Paratrooper a closed loop that’s more secure and probably wouldn’t add too much cost at the factory. I understand being a closed loop like EO MN you’d need to take the spring bar off to change strap but that can be solved by using quick change spring bars like the ones that came stock with my Certina DS PH200M.

Looks like it might be a good solution for watches with fixed bars, and the Bertucci has enough space at the lugs that it should fit through them, hardware and all. Someone on WUS seems to have managed it.

Probably going to order a second Ali Express one with black hardware for some black cased watches.

I tried this and it worked well on my “hack”. It was a little difficult to get on, but stayed pretty tight.

I'm pretty happy with mine too except my 20mm was more 21mm.

Do you have a link for yours?

I've seen complaints about some widths not matching what was ordered. Mine is right on the 22mm that I ordered.

Unfortunately, the product link is dead now. I ordered it in December.

Thanks. My 22 mm is fine too.

Well, that didn't work out. Despite what was claimed by someone on WUS, there's no way to cram it through the lugs of an A-2T. I suspected this might happen, so it'll probably end up on one of my other watches.

Meanwhile, back to square one with the Bertucci.

Edit: looks like I spoke too soon. Some determined fiddling, and voilà! It's a bit tricky to fasten, and I won't be swapping it anytime soon, but I do like the look.
