Big Adam: Thanks! I hope so 馃榾. Just after I bought that one I discovered "perlon NATO":s that also looks awesome, but that will have to wait. Probably a double braided one.
Being the watch noob that I am, I'm looking forward to just using the tool I also bought and change the strap myself.
They sold "fat spring bars" also, but not in 21 mm. It seems like a good idea, guess they are indeed tougher...
