I think Rolex sports models look great on a NATO. It's like a DateJust or a DayDate on a leather band.

It's not really the post that made me mad , it's uneducated people talking about things they know nothing about . People trying to tell us that we are all wrong ........ Because that's what they think .

NATO straps....not zulus, not mil straps......but NATOs............the best woven nylon strap for any military-industrial watch...............

Thank you. I go back and forth all the time between other divers and my SeaDweller/Exp II, but never have on my DJ.

It is fun to play around with your watches and change inserts and what not, but I think the sports models look best on the oyster bracelets that they come with...

That is all fine and good, but when using them for their intended purpose........I have determined through trial and error that a Nylon strap (NATO or ZULU) is safer and has easier fitment when using a 5mm thermal protection suit. The Oyster bracelet is to "floppy" when using the diver's extension, and if you pop a spring-bar then you risk loss of your watch.

I agree , I've owned 3 different DJ and would never put a nato on 1 but leather looks really good . I've actually been missing having a DJ . Might to back to the shop I traded mine in and offer to buy it back !

I guess it's because they have never tried it, or just afraid to try it.

LV on nato. Currently hunting for single piece straps without metal keepers if anyone has any suggestions. Not having too much luck with selection on the usual nato sites.

Was looking for non PVD hardware, but I'm definitely ordering a few straps from Maratac. Thanks!

I found a few straps with nylon keepers on Amazon that I'll try out also. Will post more photos as soon as the straps come in.
