The Cadillac of Oud Strings? Mouawad
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Gut-Old-oud-strings-made-by-Mouawad/27315985...
I never heard of these strings before. Pricey! 
The one Nahat link showcases them and they sound really nice.
Anyone try these before?

There is no universal strings for our beloved instrument which is not standardised in size nor in tuning.
At least, a proposal of tuning and stringlength shall be done by the seller,or a given tension of the set on a proposal of tuning for one
stringlength. Then you can compare their offer with other proposal of gut strings custom sets and depending on your wish

I have seen these ads a couple months ago.
I'm sorry to say that they are extremely overpriced reproduction of "Crystal Strings" with a very nice packaging.. hence, the price tag 
Crystal strings used to be the go-to strings in the 70's and 80's.
You're better off buying "Alice oud strings" for $15 than buying this set of junk wires..

clever to demo the strings with an 1889 Rufan Nahhat oud, probanly the best oud in existence. If you think your oud will sound like that you'd better
buy his Rufan first.
