i have bought some more nato straps and actually have been surprised how much i like these! they are really comfortable to wear and makes the wtch far more individualistic than the generic bracelet.. makes a nice change i think.. opinions?

I'd like to see a YM on a nato, wondering how that would look like.

Looks good.

What I really like about the NATO's on the older acrylic crystal sports watches is that the weight drops to near 0.

I had only see solid color Nato and of course the Bond. I like the Red, White, and Blue. That makes a plain Rolex flashy. I have a Bond Nato and its very comfy.

JJ is going to love this.

As for me, I prefer the black / grey nato on a sub any day.

I think i would really get that MKII instead of getting a Sub. That watch looks soo good. Can you swim or submerge that watch in water? I think my Bond Nato would look great on that watch.

Oooooooh... me to mamas, don't forget me.





I've been hunting for a nice deeeeep blue, but if you find a blue and gold to complement my TT Blu Sub, I'd wear it out...

Yeah you can... the current batch "blackwater" might be able to go deeper (have to check Bill's web site to know for sure). But the MkII is good for 200 meters. It's seen some free dives up north of SF. I wear it when we go for abalone... it's glow is pretty bright.

Whoa, Mamas! Wow! Well, I never knew that the Nato watch bands were available in the other two color schemes displayed above in your post. And, as a matter of fact, I actually like the more nautical theme and appearance the other two different color schemes seem to present to the viewer. BTW: Great pics! Love the well chosen ocean backdrop for the straps! The pics just made me want to go to the Marina and hop in the boat for a ride in the bay! Thanks for sharing!
