Steve,

Maratac makes a very nice NATO strap. Here is my Sea Dweller on a NATO

I think that would look pretty sharp on a black faced Exp II.

Jigga · 9 June 2008, 09:00 AM

Someone posted this pic a while back- hoping to get one for mine as well:

I know I might get flamed for this but that Nato in the James Bond screen shot looks AWFUL!

It is way too small floating around on that spring bar.

BUT that superdomed crystal is HOT!!!

mickeydainish · 9 June 2008, 06:29 PM

Naaaaa.... you wont get flamed Steph..... It is a bit small hey..(see my thread in the Rolex board)...! :-)

Apart from the thin strap.... it is a gr8 vintage Rollie that looks fab... :0)

SPACE-DWELLER · 9 June 2008, 08:56 PM

It's a matter of personal taste and preference but I would keep the original stainless steel Oyster band on that beauty!

Gurmot · 11 June 2008, 07:08 AM

I sometimes wear a Nato on my 5513 sub. I have these two plus a black one and rotate them along with the original steel oyster band for a change.

They aren't expensive so it's worth trying a few different combos to see what you like.

Just mho.

Cheers - Simon

stevemulholland3 · 11 June 2008, 07:18 AM

what is the difference in a nato and a zulu??

Perdu · 11 June 2008, 11:35 AM

I think the zulu is thicker.

Zulu's are nice, Steve. Very nice. They're thicker, heavier and feel much more substantial on your wrist

Frampton · 11 June 2008, 01:16 PM

Zulu also comes in a 2 piece, which I prefer. While it does not offer the same protection if a springbar fails, it sits better on the wrist and doesn't run the risk of inflicting wear on the caseback.

JimSnyder · 11 June 2008, 01:20 PM

Steve here is a 4 ring Zulu. I like them better than the Nato. This one came from Westcostime on ebay; Jim

stevemulholland3 · 11 June 2008, 04:45 PM

Hey jim,you ever owned a seiko?

Baptistman · 11 June 2008, 04:51 PM

Personally Steve, I cant understand the love of nato straps on Rolex watches, but each to their own

3 cheers! Give that girl a cigar!!

It not only looks bloody awful, it's not even the right size.

If I ever meet up with Sean Connery, I'm going to ask him what the hell he was thinking when he strapped on that POS on his wrist?

mickeydainish · 11 June 2008, 06:26 PM

Pls, JJ.... that Bond strap will go gr8 on your beloved Subby!?!?!?!?! :-)
