Back to the Oyster bracelet...

...after wearing the MI-6 (Bond) strap from Maratac. Enjoyed the old school 007 style...but decided to switch back to the Rolex Oyster bracelet. The neat thing is that I can always change it up later...

Variety is a good thing.

Looks great either way, I always wondered what my 14060M would look like on a Bond NATO, now I know. Thank you!
Lew, if I may ask is it a standard buckle and what width did you order? Thanks

Hi, I ordered the 20mm. It's available in 18mm, too, if you want to re-create the strap/watch combo worn by Sean Connery in "Goldfinger", but, of course, the 18mm is a shade too narrow.

I'm a Bond fan, but there are limits! And mine is a strap that fits...

Good luck. The Maratac is well made and comfortable. It dries pretty quickly.

Certainly a fun change of pace, but the Oyster bracelet does feel more substantial and secure...
