New Look on my 1675>>>>

This morning I removed the oyster bracelet from my 1675 and put a khaki nylon strap on it. What do you guys think?Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1340898961.958625.jpg

Most people here will frown on the strap idea... we have lots of fun discussing the Nato. I myself agree that the original bracelet looks best BUT I love to change it now and then. I have a pile of straps that I use on all my watches from time to time. Its fun to add a splash of color and of course the strap can be way more comfy in the summer.

Like I said, most here will frown on the strap but in the end most have enough class not to say so....

only because its a beauty of a watch does it look good. that model is made for an oyster!

i dont know why people like these nato bands so much. they are pretty annoying when you get them wet. i guess not getting them wet is a good solution.

I'm definitely a bracelet guy, but I like how the color matches well with the patina of your markers and hands.

Job well done!

Lol.....no but I have 3 kids 4 and under and the "show de jour" right now is Bubble Guppies. The tag used to say "porn" but someone took me serious and wanted to ask my opinion about a particular "thing" so I thought best I better change it.

It's definitely different looking! Personally, I prefer the stainless bands to straps.

The resemblance is just crazy!!! Even your bezel has faded pretty much like mine.

Very nice look. I have not tried khaki band but will now.

GMT's are so nice as they give you so many options to swap out bands or inserts for a completely different look. Here is my 16750.

Not usually a strap kind of guy, but love the creamy khaki color! Very summer like.

I'm imagining it would go well with a Polar ExpII.
