Hi guys,

I recently put a Bond style NATO strap on my 1967 Oyster Precision and I wanted to get some honest feedback on how it looks. Also, The fox does indeed like the new strap.

An old boy like that needs an attire fitting its pedigree so not for me

joe100 · 23 February 2012, 01:27 AM

Looks good to me. I prefer the bracelet but the NATO can really scratch an itch sometimes.

C.anderson · 23 February 2012, 01:51 AM

Thanks for the honest feedback guys. Keep em coming.

Umm unsure.....

I have a 1964/5 6424 which i purchased on a 19mm 6635 bracelet which I removed as it did not look good on the 20mm lugs.

I have now fitted a dark brown lizard which looks great.

I did try it on a number of Natos but it did not flick a switch.

Lovely head though.

Wes,

Where did you pick up the dark brown lizard strap? Care to share a picture of yours? I'm interested to see what it looks like.

.... the nato doesn't work for me.

Cool fox though

SPARTAN2161 · 23 February 2012, 06:41 AM

looks neat.

GeoGio Greece · 23 February 2012, 07:06 AM

I prefer the Oyster as No 1, second a classy leather strap, and last anything else.

C.anderson · 21 March 2012, 06:45 AM

I ended up swapping this strap out and putting on a solid black NATO strap. It looks better IMO.

mr.fairchild · 21 March 2012, 08:32 PM

i just got my first rolex and it came in a black leather band... i had to change it to brown i think for vintage watches like these, a "heritage look" works than a nato strap.

Kingair · 21 March 2012, 08:36 PM

Look ok for me.
Maybe find a NATO to has the same color as your dial ?

Nato straps are cool because you can change color to suit your mood, if you are so inclined. Or to match your outfit if you are retentive. They're not everyone's cup of tea, however.

joe100 · 11 September 2012, 11:17 AM

A steel oyster bracelet on a sporty little watch like this is perfect

gregorpal · 13 September 2012, 05:28 AM

great dial you have there, sometimes called milgauss dial because of the grey texture.

yakmeister · 13 September 2012, 05:52 AM

on the dead reptile look.

kanikune · 13 September 2012, 07:09 AM

These old ones are the best! My choice is also simple dial like that, without date.

jluger · 13 September 2012, 07:48 AM

That is a very distinguished look with that lizard strap.

TimeToGo · 13 September 2012, 09:26 AM

Nato not for me on this one...
