lap9387 1 Posted October 21, 2019 I’ve ordered a load of nato straps because I couldn’t decide... at the minute, I found this in the bottom of my watch drawer so tried it on... im not convinced it looks as nice as the bracelet... would like some thoughts? TIA! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hanski 40 Posted October 21, 2019 Nato looks casually cool - like, “hi, I’ve got a really expensive watch but you won’t notice it cause it’s just chillin’ on a piece of nylon, no big deal.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,285 Posted October 21, 2019 I think it deffo looks best on the bracelet (that’s why it comes on a bracelet), but every now and then a switch up is great for a few weeks - the nato also looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deju 1,874 Posted October 21, 2019 So mundane does it matter of the two options I side on the nato, worth trying out some rubber b’s too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flinnt 2,009 Posted October 21, 2019 I’d have to agree with bracelet or brown leather for a black rolex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RussP 22,259 Posted October 21, 2019 Look at JohnG's offerings. Lots of vintage leather straps that would be perfect for your watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CurioLeo 296 Posted October 22, 2019 Another option is a Rubber B strap with custom end links as a fusion of a steel bracelet and black nato Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A mate of mine wears a battered gen 1675 on an equally battered red, blue and yellow NATO and it looks the absolute bollocks, wears it with smart or casual attire and everything in between. The only alternative I'd go for on a modern sports Rolex would be a RubberB or Everest jobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FoxWilde 155 Posted October 22, 2019 @Howitzer mate my 1675 is my ideal one-watch collection. Whether a Pepsi or Coke, NATO or Jubilee, it’s like owning 20 watches in 1! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
