NATO Straps on Submariner Noob V5 & People's opinions

Recommended Posts

Sam Howell

Hello there, I have a few different variations of NATO straps & Perlon straps which I have fitted to my watches.

 

Just wondered what people's opinions are on these, as they seem extremely popular all over the world!

I don't care much for Nato straps. If you have a very slim wrist like mine, they sick right out at the side and are far too bulky - particularly with a large watch.

Leather or bracelet for a small wrist . . . . . .

Spring/summer is nato time, fall/winter is bracelet time. I really like natos, they show a sign of individuality and creativity....Something the average sub owner is genuinely terrified of.

I agree.. I really struggle with the NATO straps. The Perlon straps fit near on perfect!

Yeah, that is true. I like the side of being different; it's only ever on Instagram and on here where I see people changing straps on their Rolex's. Definitely a summer thing!

I really like Nato straps on dive watches especially the sub, when I had mine on Nato people seemed to like them better on bracelet, but who really cares what other people think, if you like it wear it!

I have seen a very similar response. But then again it is down to what you like personally!

Lovin the nato straps and the Zulu straps ..

such a wide selection of colours and materials it can give most watches a fresh look ..

Great thread would like to see a few more examples.

I like the NATO straps, I think most watches can pop with the right coloured strap, it dose feel like a summer option though

I like them, but in my opinion a Submariner is made to always be on the bracelet. I don't really know why but whenever I see a Submariner on a strap it screams rep to me for some reason.

It´s a great Summer choice and extremely easy/fast to change if You have some watches prepared for it.

I like the colours and in-built drop-protection:) Have some new supreme XLs on the way.

I absolutely love NATOs - they are by far my preferred stap even on several of my gens, as the (quick) choice of style can downply it or really make it pop. And they're cheap as chips as well, so buying a couple of dozen to try out won't ruin anyone....:)
