I hear it's blasphemy to remove the stock bracelet for a NATO!

I love the look as well.

Most NATOs, yes. But not the original, MOD issued admiralty grey strap that is pictured. That one is allowed....and awesome.

What is it with the Phoenix NATO? Is it the fact that they are heat sealed rather than sewn? Also, what's a good place to get one. Now I want one!

It's that they are the original. I got mine years ago, but a quick search shows them available at a site called monkeyswag.com. The one at the toxic whatever site above is obviously not the real deal Phoenix. Interesting appropriation of the color admiralty grey. I've only ever seen it used by Phoenix....until now.

Very nice shot! Perhaps you might want to try something with a splash of color?

For me, anyway - I enjoy switching it up. Rubber. Nato. Leather. Perlon.

I have 5, 6 digit references, 40 & 42mm.
Nato or perlon.

They both wear so comfortable.

Perlon is way prettier and definitely different. You'll never see someone wearing it.

Also it's sort of next level. Some people feel it's blasphemy to take it off the bracelet. Sometimes its easier when you have a few & you can pick and choose your moments to wear them.

Summer? For sure.
