Perlon might not be for everyone, but the braided pattern of the band has a way of making the watch really pop. Very breathable for the warm months as well. The material is rather stiff, but it molds to your wrist quickly after a short period of wear. Per usual, Holben's has stellar customer service and fast shipping.
Perfect strap for the hot summer weather. Shipped quickly and arrived exactly as described. This one will get a lot of wear.
I don’t always wear Perlon but when I do, I prefer Eulit. They’re reliably comfortable, durable and versatile. My wife even likes these straps in the brighter colors to change out on her “fun” watches, an example at the far right. While I have some of each thickness, I especially like the Palma for larger, heavier watches - it keeps them in place securely without the added bulk of NATO style straps. I get them exclusively from HFW, due to the great customer service.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. A double weave which gives this strap a slightly thicker and more substantial feeling than other perlons available. The buckle itself is nicely polished, and matches the case of my speedy well! Being a perlon, this is of course highly adjustable and is very comfortable and breathable in most conditions.
I bought this about 6 months ago to replace a leather strap. I am happy to say that this one shares none of the issues of the original. I waited until I had tried it in summer heat before reviewing. This band does not absorb moisture, get sticky or otherwise nasty, or smell, although you may need to clean between the strap and the case. It breathes better. The tightness can be adjusted very finely. I would agree with earlier reviewers that the color is quite dark. My first impression was that it was dark grey, but it really is just a dark, mellow brown. I have attached pictures taken in warm and cool lighting. Super pleased with the purchase.
Very stiff and scratchy. It looked soft in the pictures but it’s flat and rough. It’s not just this brand I have yet to find a soft comfortable perlon band, apparently there is no such thing and that’s a real shame. I hope someone makes one.
This is the perfect watch strap for my small wrist, it's pretty stiff so far but I'm sure it'll get more comfortable over time.
Very attractive strap that is a pleasure to look at. Stuff at first, but comfortable after a couple days of breaking in. 10/10 Would recommend
By far the nicest person strap I have ever bought. Comfortable, Flexible, light and looks awesome. I just bought another one in brown.
This is my second Perlon strap from Mike and I’m very happy with its upscale looks, durability, comfort of wear, and infinite level if size adjustment due to design.
Kudos to Mike for providing the best customer service of any online watch strap dealer!!!
Note that the color may appear Im my photo to be a slightly brighter blue than the actual band. Color is very similar to online pics.
The perlon is a great alternative to a single pass nato or a fabric alternative. It’s breathable and durable, not to mention the weave is a refreshing design. This keeps your watch lightweight and cool on your wrist. After owning one I’d highly recommend this to others.
I like this strap overall. It is a bit stiff out of the package but after wearing it for a week it is more comfortable. It does not have a soft feel like other nylon or NATO straps but it is not uncomfortable. It isn't too fancy although I do like the look. The buckle and strap seem to be good quality. And it's held up brilliantly in the water. I'm pleased with the purchase and have no complaints.
FYI: dental floss is amazing at removing watch strap pins. Does not scratch the case or the strap. I use this to save my leather straps from getting damaged by a metal tool.
I have several other perlon straps that I paid much less for than this brand, it is extremely stiff just like a leather band would be, the prong on the buckle is difficult to set, and this particular (Palma) is shorter and made for 6.5 inch wrist only and below and that is why I'm selling mine since I tried to wear get and returns indicate that it must not be used... Try the Kristal band if your wrist size is more than 6.5 in.... But it does look good LOL
I have purchased several of the Eulit Palma Perlon straps, and they are both well-made and great looking. These are perfect for warm weather wear, giving the watch a colorful and sporty look, with a touch of class. Being able to customize the fit on my 6.5 inch wrist is a huge plus.
My first perlon, glad I chose Eulit. Great quality and very comfortable. Really like the blue color and thicker weave. Very reasonable price. Crazy fast shipping to Hawaii. Highly recommended.
My first perlon strap comes with the watch that i purchased. Straight away, i feel the comfort and lightness of perlon, and i was hooked. Before i know it, i was in the market looking for the "best" perlon. As the many reviews recommend, Eulit is the best in the business. I thoroughly concur. The strap is of high quality. It is a bit rigit (which is good so your watch won't slide around when trying to put it on your wrist), but in no way it is uncomfortable. In fact, it almost feels like you are wearing a milanese bracelet. Life becomes much simpler. Perlon = Eulit. Full stop.
Note that due to the density of the weave, 22mm feels like 21mm and 20mm feels like 19mm.
I bought this strap for my newly acquired Seiko ALPINIST. This is my second Eulit watch band and I continue to be impressed for the quality and value. These straps are so comfortable, probably the most comfortable straps in my collection. The hardware is amazing and this watch does not look or feel cheap in any way. The packaging was straight forward and shipping was fast. My nephew was so impressed by the band that he decided to buy one for his black Rolex Submariner. I've only owned it for a few weeks but I haven't noticed any fading, fraying, or quality concerns. I'll update in a few months. Please note that this is a thicker perlon strap compared to Eulit's other offerings. I personally like the thicker braids on certain timepieces...especially for any tool watches. I'd go with a more finer Eulit Perlon for dressing up. The dark chocolate brown works very well with my Seiko ALPINIST.
Sooooo nice. Its super breathable and actually really comfy. I read online that Perlon can tend to be really scratchy, but this is not at all. Sometimes it feels like nothing is there. Eulit is praised as the best perlon strap manufacturer, and I can see why. Holbens has great shipping too, good seller.
This has a very nice weave that looks great on my 6105-8110. It is stiff to begin with, but breaks in nice and is very comfortable.
Very pleased with this purchase. Was looking for a perlon strap where Eulit is consistently cited online as one of the best brands (they are based in Germany) with the strap destined for my Damasko D38. Great quality strap and it looks terrific on on the Damasko. The provider - Holben's was very timely - and included two 20mm clips
