I have never been a fan of either NATO nor ZULU straps as I think they feel flimsy and look cheap. Yet I thought a nice good looking, strong and comfortable fabric type strap would be great.
I HAVE FOUND THE STRAP! It is a canvas/velcro band sold by bandrbands. These straps are good looking, tough as nails, reasonably priced and comfortable.
Here are a few of my watches on these straps. You can specify silver or black hardware. All of mine have black hardware regardless the watch. BTW, I'm not affiliated with the seller, just a very happy wearer!
Check them out as I think you would like them. Cheers, Bill P.
My UGA "bulldawg" black/red stripe band ready for the football season.
I think they are an interesting hybrid of a bund style and a velcro band: I've seen them around but never tried one. Is it a one piece or 2 piece strap?
David, the bandrbands straps are two piece and head and shoulders above NATO or ZULU bands, IMHO. These canvas/velcro straps are high quality and very comfortable to wear. Give one a try as I think you would like it.
burrycloud, I tried a GasGasBones strap and it did not compare to the bandrbands strap and it cost much more. I was disappointed in the GasGasBones strap. Cheers, Bill P.

yea, I was disappointed with my last strap from Carl, the simple pull-thru Velcro. the edges of the Velcro were quite rough and scratched the wrist to the point of leaving scars. Straight into the trash. But my others are just fine, very comfy, love his Velcro straps.
They look nice. I am pretty happy with Nato and ZULU straps though.I have some straps I had made from seatbelt strapping and a few other things I kind of like too.Heres a link to what the OP refers to-http://www.bandrbands.com/Hook-N-Loop-watch-bands.aspx- If they are good springbars 1 usd a pair is not a bad price from this site.I only see 18 mm and 25mm though.
