I agree in a way but I think It looks spot on - the correct Nato I suppose would be the dark blueish-grey one that the milsubs came on.

I just can't wear bracelets more than 5 minutes -

Picture from their site.
I just got a few of these from the same source and they are great.They just fit between the spring bars and the case [of a 14060M at least] whereas the premium Nato often doesn't . Also these don't have the second strap under the watch which means you can move the buckle to wherever you want.Also it looks more like the Sean Connery one from Goldfinger etc which matters to some folks, PLUS the keepers are cloth so you don't scratch things when working with your hands. These features are rare on Natos I think. Highly recommended.

Is it just me or do Nato straps seem to sit better if put on backwards? I not a fan of where the buckle ends up (far right) :(
