Credit goes to the german rolex forum.

Not too bad, might give it a try. I tried on the black nato I had last week and think it looks great as well, but as I am still seeing how much I like the all black bezel I kept it on the oyster for the whole week. I might play around this weekend.

I know I will be in the minority here, but I like it!

No, Daren, I will probably be in the minority. I don't like it.

yes, but thats ok since you have your own following already

Sorry...not a strap lover myself, but given a choice between that Nato and a carbon fibre one like the ones recently posted by some of the guys, the latter is much better.

Just my opinion, but nothing beats the cool touch of the original SS bracelet.

Now what if you have 3 SS and one TT bracelets? Change is good once in a while as long as it doesnt have to do with ORANGE

What about this one?

dman · 29 January 2006, 10:52 AM

I love it David!! Especially if that is the one with the engraved caseback, then it is even that much more sweet!

i wear zulu straps on a couple of my "other" watches and i like them.

i feel that a rolex however just does not look right on anything other than a bracelet. the continuity of the watch is broken with a strap.

on a personal note in my opinion that particular nato strap is ugly as sin on any time piece

but you know what they say about those

all the best,
Jason

Do you mean these engraved watches?

The only watch I currenty have on a Nato band is my '66 5513 Sub, which my son seems to have misplaced.

Sorry and don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings, but that strap has just about f***ed up the entire look of that beautiful watch!!

I'm with Ed on the Nato strap. I've never been a fan of them, and that white ExpII is appalling looking with it (sorry, MO). I think the black dial would be better suited, but I still don't like the Nato strap.

Rockrolex · 30 January 2006, 11:44 PM

Johhny and I are in 100% agreement on this one. the white face looks terrible with the Nato strap; the black face would look marginally better, but that's not saying much.
