So I feel like I’ve seen/heard of doing this as being somewhat of a cardinal sin. That being said, I think the new style Datejust with its slimmer and somewhat sportier profile just makes the mark on pulling this off. I didn’t invest too much in this strap ($5) and currently it’s just a novelty for me. That being said, what are your honest thoughts?

Honestly, and just my own opinion, I think it takes away from the overall look. I am biased on sticking with the bracelet for this piece.

This reminds me of a nice luxury car riding on space saver wheels.

Ok, not just yet, but please say when, . . . .

It's a watch for which you paid a substantial sum. Dress it up and have fun with it.

That said, I've got meself a small vial of "hate" on a shelf in the office. I will await your clearance for its release.

I personally prefer the feel and look of a bracelet over a NATO. If you're enjoying your beautiful DJ this way, I would say leave it and continue to enjoy. I guess if I can have a little input on the NATO strap itself tho......Maybe a grey with white stripes or a complete grey one would go better with your dial? I think the black may be a little "strong" here?

Nice DJ though. I love that dial!

Not a fan. Maybe on a stainless smooth bezeled 1.

ferrissteve11 · 14 January 2019, 10:51 AM

I once met a Doc who sported a DJ on a NATO and it looked alright, but it was a smooth bezel variant and the band was a solid color, so slightly different look.

BigBoy17 · 14 January 2019, 10:53 AM

Gmt on nato maybe, sub on nato maybe.... datejust on nato... NO....

Juan Luis · 14 January 2019, 11:02 AM

Maybe an all black NATO?

JR16 · 14 January 2019, 11:11 AM

Honestly, it’s a big no.
Datejust on bracelet only. maybe just maybe leather.

Sometimes you have to do it in order to know how wrong it is.

pickettt · 14 January 2019, 11:34 AM

Not for me, but if you're cool with it.......do it.

Fat_ninja · 14 January 2019, 11:38 AM

Nope

Jojoshop · 14 January 2019, 11:54 AM

Not a nato hater; but this combination is just not working for me

shapa · 14 January 2019, 12:03 PM

Wow! That's pretty bad (putting it mildly).

AK DeepSea · 14 January 2019, 12:10 PM

Woof

The 30 year old jubilee is getting overhauled. I actually like the nato on the 16030. Gives it a field watch vibe

schoolboy · 14 January 2019, 01:07 PM

I like it

epc2 · 14 January 2019, 01:21 PM

Not my cup of tea , but if you like it wear it

toxicavenger · 14 January 2019, 01:25 PM

I do believe a nato will look good on it, but not that nato. It does not match it.

SoCal_Batman · 14 January 2019, 01:33 PM

I feel like those colors do not go well together.

AF_Rob · 14 January 2019, 01:41 PM

SS model with a smooth bezel, I would consider it. Other than that, I don't think so.

KeithP · 14 January 2019, 01:41 PM

Not that NATO. Maybe a nice, high quality thin leather one. But I’d leave it on the bracelet if it’s my watch. Since it isn’t- do it to it!

Greg5512 · 14 January 2019, 01:46 PM

With the right nato I think it would look good

mgsooner · 14 January 2019, 01:49 PM

A 36mm DJ works great on a nice leather strap. Beyond that? Bracelet.

Chadridv · 14 January 2019, 01:50 PM

I don’t even care for natos on subs or any sports watch for that matter, it’s a big no from neon a DJ.

Steerpike999 · 14 January 2019, 02:17 PM

I'm a NATO fan but not on that Datejust I'm afraid
