The bracelet is nice BUT....

You simply can't go wrong with a zulu / nato on a Sub.

Is it better looking then the bracelet? Nope.
Is it more comfortable then the bracelet? Yep.
Does it look REALLY good? Yep.
Is it a dirt cheap way to turn one Rolex into 2? Yep!

I did learn one thing... the Maratac brand really is far superior to what Amazon sells. I bought several nato / zulu straps on Amazon from different makers for a different watch... they are all absolute garbage com
pared to this Maratac zulu.

Not a strap guy myself but that looks pretty good.

Bracelets are nice. But it's nice to change them to something else once in a while

are you fitting a 22mm NATO on the sub?

looks slightly bulging off the edge of the lugs...

Well IMHO it would look better if the strap fit.

It is supposed to be a 20mm (that is what I ordered.)

I see what you mean though... it looks a little big in the pictures. It isn't so obvious in person, after all you are looking at a picture that is blown up much bigger then the actual watch... In person it definitely not obvious enough for me to even worry about.

Here it is from the under side.

I tried straps once and MARATAC is thicker than NATO style strap ... but to me, a sub looks best on the factory bracelet.
