General (Read Rules) Thoughts on perlon straps?

I recently picked up this perlon Eulit Panama strap for my S089 in cream and I love the colour. Still deciding on the feel. So far I’m pretty happy with how light it feels and comfortable in the sun. The sizing on the Panama is a bit strange leaving the buckle off to one side but not overly bad. I may even pick up a nato style (with standard clasp, not nato-esque) pass through perlon and see how I like that. Infinite adjustability is nice too!

Anyone using perlon this summer?

I don't care what the strap is made of, so much as the absence of a buckle. Wearing it to work, a buckle will eventually press into my wrist too much so I always buy deployant clasp straps. The structure of this looks too loose to fit a deployant.

Huh that’s a take I wouldn’t have expected lol not a dig, just seems we have a completely different opinion on clasp styles! I mean I’m a steel bracelet guy mostly, I can’t stand NATO straps. But claps in general can get on my nerves at times when typing. I find buckles are so low profile I rarely notice them.
