I completely agree. I’m just not a fan of NATO’s.

OP, good call on getting a blue/red bezel. That’s my favorite combo.

Every time I’ve thrown my 16700 on nato, I’ve ended up quickly switching it back to the bracelet. I like my divers on nato better, but that’s just personal preference - to each their own!

BluShark straps makes excellent natos and tends to be my go-to.

Bonetto Cinturini rubber nato. Comes in polished or brushed hardware, various color options, and the keeper strap is removable [RAF style].

I like crown and buckle NATOs, but usually switch back to Oyster. I think the LN bezel is the best of the 3 for NATOs.
