Nato is better, but it doesn't look bad at all.

Great combination. The strap looks as rugged/refined as the SD.

Great pics! I may get that myself, since I cannot get the SD's bracelet to be as comfortable as the GMTc's.

Not a great strap lover, but I actually find myself liking that one - definitely way, way better than a NATO!!

Thanks guys. I don't normally wear staps on my SD but this one will get plenty of wrist time.

I agree with the old boy.

I'm not a strap lover but that looks amazing....like it was meant for the watch.

I think it would suit a sub too yet not a sub date! Weird, must be the cyclops.

Wish that Rolex would offer the SD with the kind of "sail" material strap that the BP FF comes with.
