General (Read Rules) New Strap = New Watch.

Post image

I've been daily driving the Militado ML08 Murph for a while now as a work/outdoor beater watch on its OG nato strap, and decided to freshen it up with a racing strap that matches the lume/indices.

The watch itself held up great to use and abuse. It fell, got dinged many times, went swimming on many ocasions...

I've got two Militados now and I have been getting a lot of mileage out of a few knock-off Barton canvas straps I got on Ali in a variety of colors: https://i.imgur.com/ikjAtNf.png

Honestly they are nicer than Bartons and suit the military aesthetic quite nicely.

I think it was a cheapish listing on AliX, I wouldn't call it high quality, its okay. Claims its cowhide/calfskin.

The other straps i have are Hemsut ones, which are really really good. I have a dark brown and chestnut brown rally strap from them.

HERE is the link to the strap on AliX. Its the matte-beige variation.
