Doesn't work for me. Nice sub though.

Anything that gives you a different look and excites you about your watch..

I say, go for it...

a true divers strap for a true divers watch - made to be viewed from outside the wetsuit

I have a similar strap on this old glycene airman - very utilitarian, like it.

I heard WWII air navigators would jury rig long straps to wrap around the knee for easy constant view

Doesn't work for me either - but it's definitely different and unique. Thanks for the pics.

Love it! I am a big fan of straps. I will buy one before I purchase my Rollie in order to have the store put it one right away. Every utility watch deserves a utility strap!

mike · 31 January 2008, 04:09 PM

Rock on.

Cyberpipm2000 · 31 January 2008, 04:15 PM

Mike,

I think yours looks killer. spy's wear their subs like that! love it, very sharp and a fine age sub at that.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting combo!

Trurolexer · 31 January 2008, 10:18 PM

Nice looking Brandon, to you too Mike.
I think whatever you did with your Sub, they still look AWESOME!!!

Here's my 5513 on a khaki Nato.

rxgremlin · 1 February 2008, 12:17 AM

Mike,

That is an absolutely stunning picture!

Dan Pierce · 1 February 2008, 12:28 AM

Never been a NATO fan [watch band that is] but if you like it and it's reversable then I say go for it. Must admit changing things around from time to time is fun.

I have one on my 5512, black zulu. I love the security of these straps.

YuppieKid · 1 February 2008, 01:57 AM

straps (or straps in general on a Submariner) ....

Thank you for your support ...

Jedi · 1 February 2008, 03:48 AM

I like them NATOs... my 16610 is permanently on a regimental NATO and I plan to get some more, but like, I'm kinda worried about the wear on the case and reference numbers

Anyone else have an issue there??

Alex Stylianou · 1 February 2008, 04:04 AM

goes well with it !

Fatso · 1 February 2008, 09:57 AM

Those NATO straps are tits up and the only real alternative to the oyster.

How about a Pepsi GMT with a NATO, cool or not cool?
