Just added a NATO

to my LV. I went to my watchmaker today with my pre- purchased Hirsch Hevea rubber strap, but he somehow convinced me to look at a NATO, and I loved it, especially after he cut off a piece of it to truncate it to fit my wrist and used a match to round the edges; it was great work. I really like the NATO on my LV, tight snug fit, and is really cool looking. What do you guys think.

That is not possible, it sounds like it comes from a wise man.
