NATO and other straps

Hi Guys,

I've just acquired one of my long sort after favourites. 116520 white dial Daytona incoming tomorrow AM! Some other people I've seen in and out the forum sometimes equip it with a NATO or other type of aftermarket strap. Can anyone advise the best place to find these from at a reasonable price (I've already looked at Everest but they only do rubber or leather, no nato )?

Thanks in advance!

Although not a fan of Nato straps for any Rolex watch seeing you are in the UK,the Nato from Eddie Platts at timefactors are very good quality and good prices.Fact many of his Nato straps are better quality than many at 3 times the price you will find on the net.

Hi Padi,

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look!

It's just to change it up on occasions, will mostly be on the oyster!

Thanks

another choice, is Cabot Watch Company (CWC)
they are the people that made the first NATOs and still supply the British military

If I may.... I equipped my 116520 with a leather strap from Everest (the one with end-links) and love it, even got the whole staff at my local AD all riled up at their watch event looking at it and they all complemented how cool it looked... highly recommend it!

Use the search function here. I posted a list of about fifteen or so NATO suppliers not too long ago.
