my name is Andy and I have a problem...nato fever!

...and the only cure is more cowbell! I mean more nato straps! I would like to thank Dan Pierce for giving me nato fever!.....my deepsea was on the way out but decided to try some new straps before.

I'm so glad i did and now she is a keeper! dont think my bracelet will be on for some time. Loving the colors, comfy feel and the new watch feeling with each change.

Oh and they are cheap! from $10-$18!

just some quick iphone pics

Hate to say it Andy, but you're not quite carrying off the size of that DS!

Great collection of NATO's though.

yeah thats just because of the angle of that wrist shot,

my wrist is actually....























way smaller! I have a 6 3/4 wrist but do love large watches with wrist presence!

Nice and funky combo. Looks great - Me likey.

Not sure if it is camera angle or my eyes... The DSSD looks quite large on the wrist....

I agree gnomon is my favorite place to order NATO, they have combo packs and PVD option on all models!

I must say that watch is huge on you! Maybe a non ceramic sub would fit you better my friend

Yes, Andy, you need help. Of course, I'm not the one to help you since I've been bitten in the butt by the Nato fever. I've got another order of four straps coming from Gnomon. Very, very addictive.

I have to say..

I'm personally not a fan of NATOs, but they do look good and are a very cool mix!
