NATO on Datejust... don’t hate just yet

[SLS]

I would opt for a nice crock strap...leave the natos for the sport models.

[Air Rescue 5]

No go.

[bowsersdaddy]

Whatever floats your boat but since you've posted it here for our public opinion,

my eyes hurt

Tough crowd. You might get more favorable responses with better color coordination. But if you like it, rock it!

I think it’s great to mix it up...you get a new watch and you can always go back.

That nato looks fantastic, IMO.

I think it looks good, it's nice to switch things up now and again.

I wore mine on a nato during the summer when I had my DJ36

No offence, but this one is even worse - what’s with the over hang?!?!

[DoDe]

If Nato is that important, wear strap only.

This just kills the it. Doesnt look suitable

[Horatio]

NATO’s should never be worn on any watch ever, they immediately cheapen the look. And please don’t say it’s comfortable - wearing no watch at all is more comfortable so check your phone for the time and go without a watch if you want comfort.

My SD is at RSC for a service so I’m having to wear my DJ on rotation this time around.

I have to remove the bracelet for health and safety reasons depending on operations, and because I don’t want to scratch up the jubilee if it can be avoided, not to mention the bracelet tends to attract attention at times, leather soaks up sweat in West Africa, cheaper rubber straps tend to cause irritation after a while, so I opted for an Erikas Original MN strap on my DJ.

I’d rather have this watch on its bracelet if I’m honest, but quite like the change up that I have to roll with.

Remind me of my local weather reporter who wear suit and tie with beach short.

Perfectly sums it up

[SpunkyQ8]

IMHO it looks so wrong.. just not meant to be

[Joergen]

I don't think it's that bad. Obviously looks better on the bracelet, but the NATO has a purpose.

[Romeo Clive]

Nato is always a no, regardless of the watch

[Macnavara]

I waited but cant wait any longer....

Sorry you asked but if you like it thats all that matters

[Sublovin]

I am a big fan of NATO straps, but not liking that combo. Maybe try a solid beige or brown color

[icnbne]

Gold and ss watch with a black and grey strap.. yeah nah
If u have to have a nato, maybe try just a solid black one? Way too many colours on that wrist

[mr.president1]

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Like I said, this was more of a novelty, and I’m not sold on it. Was at a store and saw it and thought I’d give it a go. We’ll see how that develops!
