NATO Strap on a G-9100 Gulfman Mod

    Posted 24 November / 2008 by Riley

Deepseabeast has switched his G-9100 over to a heavy-duty NATO strap. He's a professional diver, and this G-Shock has spent over 110 hours on working dives in the past year. It's an oversized band by Waterborne ($12 USD in a dive shop) that was modified with a hot knife to fit within the lugs of the Gulfman. This one is large enough to fit over a wetsuit. This strap has held up to a lot of abuse with no problems, and it's become popular with other divers. It makes this Gulfman look even tougher.
