Its Still Love
I got my first real new Rolex last weekend.... from an TRF member. I have had more than a few audition watches.... so I was ready. Lasted ONE day on the Oyster and started reaching for the NATO bands. I got this one from broadarrow.net on Thursday.... a mil spec Bond. Happiness is!

Personally I don't think I could ever like a NATO. It looks like it cheapens the watch.

I get what you are saying.

However if it is to be used as a daily tool watch for example, I think this strap is a great idea to save the original bracelet from getting all beat up

The NATO halves the weight of the watch and does keep the oyster band perfect. I wear this one every day... so.... etc etc. Its just SO comfortable.... I have a fleet of NATO bands for different occasions... the thinner MIL spec ones fold over just right and look killer with a dress shirt.
