I decided to put my new Explorer II on NATO this morning and I thought I would share a quick photo. I have a good selection of colors and every single strap that I tried looked great with the white dial. Today, I am going with the desert tan...

beautiful!

Super cool and comfy looking!

I'd ask where to get one of these "NATO" straps, but my last four posts that requested information have been completely ignored...

Nice watch though!

Type NATO straps into Google - there's load of places that sell them. I'd recommend where I get mine from but as you're on the other side of the planet I guess you'd prefer somewhere closer to home.

Looks AWESOME on desert tan!

First post here guys - about to get my first Polar tomorrow. Where in the UK is the best place to get Nato straps. Thanks in advance for your help.

You are very welcome Tom! I am glad I could help you "explore" some new options. Let's see some pics.

Honestly, I think the ExpII looks better with a NATO strap - it must be the contrast with the bezel.

All of these are great examples - beautiful!

Nalk7 · 8 April 2011, 02:37 AM

Your Explorer II looks fantastic on a NATO! specially the olive one :) I saw a man wearing a polar explorer on a orange NATO at JFK airport for thanks giving break, and thought it looks really nice

bighaole · 8 April 2011, 02:42 AM

I have not been a fan of the nato straps, but I think both the tan and the gray look VERY nice. I might have to look into this...

usbzoso · 8 April 2011, 02:50 AM

Here is another NATO i recently purchased for my Exp II Polar

WOW that looks great Stan! I love the way the white and red tie into the colors on the dial.

GeoGio Greece · 8 April 2011, 03:01 AM

Desert tan is the BEST !!

x2

I picked up one just like that havent tried in on the Polar yet, glad to see it looks so fine!!

SaddleSC · 8 April 2011, 02:51 AM

I think the Desert Tan and the Gray are my favorites so far. This is the only Rolex in my collection where I actually prefer the NATO strap to the bracelet. The bezel and white dial just tie it all together so nicely.

Grey definitely looks good. Maybe off topic, but wondering if anyone has tried the Exp II with a rubber strap?

Caraptor · 8 April 2011, 03:17 AM

They all look great!

rosspanics · 8 April 2011, 04:40 AM

I'm gonna try a black on my polar ExpII soon... will post pics

HL65 · 8 April 2011, 04:50 AM

Very nice!!

AWS · 8 April 2011, 05:04 AM

I have seen the Exp II black on nato but never on the polar. It looks great and now I will have to try it on mine.
