Both are very cool straps gents. I thought perhaps it was a Corvus but for some reason (I don't know my eyes may be playing tricks on me) the red piping seemed a touch lighter and brighter than the corvus.

I can't remember now, but I thought the straps shipped with the Kingston came from WUS member Aliasrichmond (look up his posts and search "Bond Strap"). I believe he also sells them on 'Bay, but don't know under what name. I did quite like his straps: they felt more like ribbon and less like plastic than some others, although he initially had too few holes in the strap for some and they were spaced too far apart to make comfortable adjustments for some. He had since fixed those issues, so I thought they were great. I believe I saw that the Corvus was a little thicker, a little heavier on the wrist, but I can't seem to find that thread (it's here somewhere).

Interesting. I will look up those posts. Thanks very much.

aliasrichmond also improved the color (IMO) The new ones have more holes and the colors are a little darker. I believe the new version is a little closer to the original "Bond" straps. I bought both for my Kingston, but thus far I'm happy with it on the bracelet.

Here are the old and new aliasrichmonds. Newer version is on the left

Great to see that the new straps have more (and better spaced) holes. This makes this strap perfectly adjustable.

Stay tune as I am producing another (like the market needs another Bond strap, haha) RAF Bond strap but with a proper "Bond" style buckle. No one has been able to replicate the buckle used so I am working with a builder to get them out. Waiting for samples. Will post.

I have worn just about all the RAF Bond straps out there. I really hope mine comes out the way I want.

You guys see this? If you fast forward to the 1:15 marker and look closely you'll see Daniel Craig is wearing a bond strap (w/ proper colors) with a keeper.
