MooksWilson Report post Posted September 20, 2014 Has anyone found a decent supplier for Nato Strap hardware? Plenty of people are selling Nato straps on Etsy so they must be getting bulk hardware from somewhere. I'm looking to buy relatively small quantities (probably in the 25 sets range to start) https://www.etsy.com/listing/166424534/handmade-leather-watch-strap-with?ref=sr_gallery_20&ga_search_query=nato+strap&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery That is the exact hardware I'm looking for and have not been able to find anything through googling. Thanks! Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veedub3 Report post Posted September 20, 2014 Use the search feature at the top right of the page - it is your friend. Just type in Nato and click search and you will get several threads where members shared where they purchased their Nato Hardware from. Karina Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MooksWilson Report post Posted September 20, 2014 Hi Karina, Thanks for your response. Believe me, I have already tried the search feature with various combinations of words and have come up with very little in the way of suppliers for this specific NATO hardware. It is mostly people in the same boat as me, unable to find anything and the occasional person stating "pm me for details on my private supplier". If you were able to find something via search I would love to see it. I've actually been searching for a couple of years now in hopes that some enterprising person would start supplying this stuff with no luck. Whoever is supplying all these Etsy sellers with their hardware, I can't find them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veedub3 Report post Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) I typed in Nato in the search box, the first post, scrolled down and below is a link a member posted stating this is where he gets his hardware from. You have to read through the threads. Trust me this question has been asked and answered several times. 1. http://www.crownandbuckle.com/straps-by-type/nato-straps.html 2. http://www.vintasso.com/vintasso/Home.html There may be more suppliers but I only looked in the first thread.

MooksWilson Report post Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Hi Karina, I stand corrected, Crown and Buckle does sell the buckle I am looking for. However, would love to know if anyone has a lead on a supplier who doesnt want 5 dollars a buckle. http://www.crownandbuckle.com/accessories/buckles/hybrid-brushed-18mm-buckle.html Thanks, Kevin Edited September 20, 2014 by MooksWilson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
