I decided to put my new Explorer II on NATO this morning and I thought I would share a quick photo. I have a good selection of colors and every single strap that I tried looked great with the white dial. Today, I am going with the desert tan...

cgjane · 8 April 2011, 01:16 AM

beautiful!

SoftwareDrone · 8 April 2011, 01:34 AM

Super cool and comfy looking!

I'd ask where to get one of these "NATO" straps, but my last four posts that requested information have been completely ignored...

Nice watch though!

Nice combo! I have been thinking about buying an olive green for my Polar, it bet that would also look good

Type NATO straps into Google - there's load of places that sell them. I'd recommend where I get mine from but as you're on the other side of the planet I guess you'd prefer somewhere closer to home.

Looks AWESOME on desert tan!

bought from this guy and I think he is in Cali also. great straps!

Chad C. · 8 April 2011, 02:32 AM

Honestly, I think the ExpII looks better with a NATO strap - it must be the contrast with the bezel.

All of these are great examples - beautiful!

Nalk7 · 8 April 2011, 02:37 AM

Your Explorer II looks fantastic on a NATO! specially the olive one :) I saw a man wearing a polar explorer on a orange NATO at JFK airport for thanks giving break, and thought it looks really nice

bighaole · 8 April 2011, 02:42 AM

I have not been a fan of the nato straps, but I think both the tan and the gray look VERY nice. I might have to look into this...

usbzoso · 8 April 2011, 02:50 AM

Here is another NATO i recently purchased for my Exp II Polar

SaddleSC · 8 April 2011, 02:51 AM

I think the Desert Tan and the Gray are my favorites so far. This is the only Rolex in my collection where I actually prefer the NATO strap to the bracelet. The bezel and white dial just tie it all together so nicely.

WOW that looks great Stan! I love the way the white and red tie into the colors on the dial.

GeoGio Greece · 8 April 2011, 03:01 AM

Desert tan is the BEST !!

Caraptor · 8 April 2011, 03:17 AM

They all look great!

Grey definitely looks good. Maybe off topic, but wondering if anyone has tried the Exp II with a rubber strap?

Very nice!!

AWS · 8 April 2011, 05:04 AM

I have seen the Exp II black on nato but never on the polar. It looks great and now I will have to try it on mine.

Dan Pierce · 8 April 2011, 05:11 AM

Puffy · 8 April 2011, 05:15 AM

Rolesor · 8 April 2011, 05:25 AM

wow the Expy II polar looks great on all of those straps - I really like the tan and gray ones.

I love that crispy white dial :)

aleiberman · 8 April 2011, 05:27 AM

I just love how the ExpII has finally gotten the recent respect it deserves.

aleiberman · 8 April 2011, 05:28 AM

This Rolex forum has recently been run over by Exp II owners.
