Sorry, no for me. I think leather is the best strap choice for a DD.

Exactly !!!

Wesley Crusher · 2 August 2015, 10:33 AM

Nope. A leather strap would look a lot better.

crowncollection · 2 August 2015, 11:44 AM

No sorry not for me, my personal preference is a nice croc strap or bracelet

Get a croc nato with gold hardware...

sdwtchlvr · 2 August 2015, 12:31 PM

That does nothing for me. Go for a nice alligator like others have said.

Old Expat Beast · 2 August 2015, 12:35 PM

No. Needs bracelet or leather.

Depends on the colors and hardware material.

Emphatically no

Ancon Harpy · 6 October 2016, 10:42 AM

1803 with jet black nato with gold hardware.... Yeah!

springer · 2 August 2015, 03:00 PM

I would prefer leather and not wear mine on a NATO.

omitohud · 2 August 2015, 03:02 PM

No but if u like it, why not?

I blame it on the autoconnect.

1803 on leather Nato:

1803 on vintage leather strap:

Erpin · 2 August 2015, 04:55 PM

Leather Nato would be nice.

gileto · 2 August 2015, 07:27 PM

better on vintage leather, but would be better on a croc imho...

capote · 2 August 2015, 08:14 PM

Prefer with leather strap or president bracelet.

nsumner · 2 August 2015, 08:45 PM

I'll go against the tide and say, yay. Maybe not every day but cool for sometimes.

My former wg 1803 on nato:

Johny · 2 August 2015, 08:49 PM

yes.

rootbeer7 · 2 August 2015, 08:52 PM

No, until the contrast image. Dark nato against gold, hell yeah!!!!

RC2 · 3 August 2015, 04:14 AM

👎🏼😩

zapokee · 3 August 2015, 05:19 PM

Thanks everybody for your input.

Thanks also to everyone who posted pics of their own combos - all great!

The poll was pretty decisive, and I agree that there are better combinations. I'll be putting it back on its usual brown Horween Cordovan Shell strap.

That said, I still think there's something delicious about occasionally putting a nice gold watch on a ratty old $10 strap.

Nobody.Move · 4 August 2015, 06:07 AM

Nay, the 1803 is being forced (by the Nato) to be something it's not. It's way too incongruous for me. Let your dress watch shine with a black or chestnut colored leather strap, preferably crocodile.

RazorD · 4 August 2015, 06:43 AM

Wouldn't be my choice.

Willygallardo · 4 August 2015, 12:19 PM

Nay watch is too classy for nato.

bde · 4 August 2015, 12:28 PM

I'm a huge NATO fan, but I've got to say "nay".
