The buckle came very good packed and sealed with transparent tape. With a new strap I can avoid to buy a new watch for some time becaue it renews my watch to some other type. So I decided to pimp up my NOMOS Tangente Sport with the strap in the „GULF“ design, that fits perfect to the colors of the hands an figures oft he watch. The mounting was not complicated, because I watched the youtube video before. But I would also not change the strap every day. Maybe the ends of the strap would lose the sewing(?). The buckle itself is very well manufactured, the edges not sharp anymore and on my wrist from the back it looks much more smaller than it is at all. Only the first days I had some allergic reactions. I washed the straps, but it was still to feel. Maybe it came from the glue oft he tape witch covered the buckle. Now, after some weeks, I feel mostly comfortable with my skin and I love the lookk of the nato strap with the exclusive folding clasp. That is so unique for me. Because I always hated the long ends of nato straps and the loop to hide somewhere. All in all I was so satisfied, that I ordered the buckle also in black for some other of my watches. But will be the next story.
