RAF anyone?
So I was getting a bit bored with my classic Submariner Date 16610 V serial and decided on a slight variation. So I picked up a RAF strap and it feels, and looks, like a new watch. I'm really enjoying the cool vibe. I also think it accentuates the classic lines of the Submariner and, in particular, the lugs. It fits better in my watch rotation. Lately it has become my weekend casual go anywhere watch. I know straps on sports rolexes may not be for everyone, and I was once one of those traditionalists, but I've crossed a threshold
 anyone else?

Yup, I put my BLNR on a NATO as well, it completely changed the feel of the watch and I love it

Nothing wrong with nato. If it is good enough for james bond it surely works for us non spies.

The sub, like the SD was born for the NATO. Even in a shirt and tie, its bulky stainless steel case gives a hit of rugged class.

I love switching between natos, rubber b and the bracelet. Plus it allows me to tinker with the watch more which I like. After a week of NATO wearing putting the bracelet on makes it feel wow! That said, I enjoy a good NATO and always will rotate them in
