GingerApple 7,273 Posted March 16, 2018 Why on earth didn't I try Nato straps before now!!?! What a plonker! These things are the best things since sliced bread. They take seconds to fit (unless you're @88juniorfan) and can totally change the character of a watch. If you haven't tried them, do! These ones were only about $6 each delivered from https://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/collections/nato The watch below I bought a week or two ago. I loved it in photos, but not so much on my wrist. It turns out it was just the strap I didn't like; nice as it was, it just didn't suit my milkbottle skin. Stick the watch on a cheap Zulu and boom, I love it! Into the rotation it comes. As it came originally: On the new Zulu: Popped a Hulk on an olive Zulu - totally changes the vibe: And the fun shall continue tomorrow. If you've not got into natos yet, do so!

Junior88 387 Posted March 16, 2018 Well, @GingerBubba, thanks for the vote of confidence. I TOLD you I got the eyesight thing sorted out (cheeky bastard) On a sidenote, they DO appear to almost transform a watch into something else. I'm not into green, but that olive with the Hulk really does change it. Great for the parties tomorrow, perhaps? And it changed the other watch completely as well. Get some damn sun, will you? By the way, I agree. You ARE a plonker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,273 Posted March 17, 2018 Perfect for a weekend warrior. Then back into the bracelet on Monday to go with a shirt. And because ginger hair, ginger skin and a ginger watch just isn't ginger enough: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waspy 306 Posted March 17, 2018 Cheapest is not always best with NATOs. Always check the length. I find a lot of the cheaper ones are about 270mm when really they need to be 300mm so there is plenty to tuck in. I am currently loving this 'seat-belt' NATO.

GingerApple 7,273 Posted March 17, 2018 Looks cool! To be fair, I didn't go hunting for the cheapest natos; there was another thread that asked for recommended sites and this was one that was recommended. I know it's early days, but I'm pretty happy with them. Mine are zulus actually, three hoop zulus so length seems less of an issue. Where do you get yours from?
