Nature loves orange NATO

So I've been vacationing the last 2 weekends and notices that nature love my orange NATO on my 16610. Here are the stories.

1) I was in northern MI and we came across some horses. We were feeding them carrots. I can tell you know where this is going, sorry I don't have a picture. One of the horses decided my watch looked tasty and started gnawing on it. I suppose horses aren't colorblind?

2) Was on the boat and a dragonfly decided my watch was a great place to land. Kept it still and the dragonfly hung around for a good 10 minutes. Fortunately, I do have a pic of this.

Pic #2 (can't get it to load two pics in one post). If you look closely you can see the reflection of the dragonfly's wings in the crystal.

My orange NATO has gotten more positive comments than any other strap, watch or combination of the two.

I'm about to order a few NATO straps. Orange will defiantly be one of the colors.

Looks great.
