NATO Straps

[kennethcooke]

It scares me, sometime when I read that NATO straps that are worn to look good, cool and hip on Rolex Oyster Sport Models, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact anyone wearing a NATO Strap on any watch with spring bars is asking to loose it which would not be a good idea especially, if you were in the middle of a covert special operations mission. aka down the pub with your mates. If you insist on wearing an NATO Strap, and personally, I cannot see why you would, then you would need to have work carried out as done during the 40's to weld the bars so that they could no accidentally spring, and as a footnote, Rolex advise against this as the watch was designed as a complete unit including bracelet and it would effect your warranty and the watches Chronometer accuracy
