Is it possible to buy a NATO strap from Rolex themselves, in the UK or USA?

If so how much are they?

Cheers

Dan.

They don't make that, but what's wrong with an aftermarket NATO?

Nothing. I heard Rolex could supply customers with NATO strap for a price and wondered how much that 'price' was?

Dan, I don't know that they do, I'm a bracelet guy myself but I would pick one or two up for my Sub as "back ups" if they were ever available.

Rolex can supply you with a NATO but they're not made by Rolex and they're not branded Rolex. It'll set you back about £40-60 (I forget the exact amount) compared to £5-10 from anywhere else.

Just buy a grey NATO with steel keepers from rltwatches or timefactors and get the same thing for a fraction of the cost.

Don't know if Rolex still supplies the Admiralty Gray Nato straps, but they were 2-3 times the price of after market Natos and sourced from one of the popular UK suppliers/manufacturers.

If Rolex made a nato it would cost min $150 compared to $20.

Well at one in the UK you could get from Rolex so called Admiralty NATO at well over £40 but made by a third party.And they were no better quality than the one from Timefactors that cost just £8.

Great info thanks guys :) who makes the natos for Rolex then? Phoenix Straps is what I heard...is that correct, if so I'll go direct to them instead. ;)

Edit: do Rolex only sell Admiralty grey?

Rolex do sell Nato in St. James, with VAT there are £50, I returned mine due to the fact I have bought better quality ones in eBay for less that £10.

Rolex also sell the Tudor Black Bay nylon strap which is awesome. It is a very cool weave and has beautifully made hardware.

Rolex would charge $200 for a $10 Nato strap.
