hmmmm GMT2 on bond Nato doesnt look half bad......

Credit goes to the german rolex forum.









Not too bad, might give it a try. I tried on the black nato I had last week and think it looks great as well, but as I am still seeing how much I like the all black bezel I kept it on the oyster for the whole week. I might play around this weekend.

No, Daren, I will probably be in the minority. I don't like it.

Sorry...not a strap lover myself, but given a choice between that Nato and a carbon fibre one like the ones recently posted by some of the guys, the latter is much better.

Just my opinion, but nothing beats the cool touch of the original SS bracelet.

Now what if you have 3 SS and one TT bracelets? Change is good once in a while as long as it doesnt have to do with ORANGE

I love it David!! Especially if that is the one with the engraved caseback, then it is even that much more sweet!

i wear zulu straps on a couple of my "other" watches and i like them.

i feel that a rolex however just does not look right on anything other than a bracelet. the continuity of the watch is broken with a strap.

on a personal note in my opinion that particular nato strap is ugly as sin on any time piece but you know what they say about those

all the best,
Jason

Sorry and don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings, but that strap has just about f***ed up the entire look of that beautiful watch!!

I'm with Ed on the Nato strap. I've never been a fan of them, and that white ExpII is appalling looking with it (sorry, MO). I think the black dial would be better suited, but I still don't like the Nato strap.

Johhny and I are in 100% agreement on this one. the white face looks terrible with the Nato strap; the black face would look marginally better, but that's not saying much.

Do you mean these engraved watches?



The only watch I currenty have on a Nato band is my '66 5513 Sub, which my son seems to have misplaced.
