That is a fair point. I am not sure if it is this particular bracelet, but when used on other watches there is also quite a gap. I may need to move those holes a bit more back so long as the NATO can handle it.TheJohnP wrote:This project is not for me, so my opinion is moot.Sporkboy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 2:58 pm [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201903 ... b627bf.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201903 ... 5e6973.jpg[/IMG]
But seems a big gap when using a bracelet.
I would enjoy the opportunity to help test them, but I don't have many strap options for that purpose. In fact, I only have natos. Maybe somebody else would be a better beta tester? Also: the only Gs I could test with are a couple squares, while the adapter should also work with model DW6900, etc. It would be nice to test them with these other models, too.
Maybe you should accept a volunteer who is better equipped than I. Better testing -> better product -> everybody benefits. I think what you're doing is awesome -- the proprietary lugs on Gs have always bugged me because I want to be able to change straps (and the JaysAndKays are too big imo).DW5600/GW5600

That is looking good. What strap is that?Sporkboy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 1:09 pm OK, some shots on leather. Still a gap, but not nearly as bad as before.

Your arguments make sense, though once I get my feedback I will send you a few sets anyway. It is the least I can do for all that you have contributed. I will open up the Beta test slot to someone else.BostonCharlie wrote:I would enjoy the opportunity to help test them, but I don't have many strap options for that purpose.

Here is a list of models compatible with the JaysAndKays adapters, if that's any guide -- I copied it from their etsy page. It includes DW5600, so I figure your adapter should fit them too:
