So like any well addicted WIS with a new GMT on the way, I decided to purchase a couple of Maratac NATO's as the watch was in transit was in the mail from Springer. Timing was great as the NATO's arrived just before the watch!

Being on vacation today and a bit bored I decided to give one of them a try.

It turned out quite nice IMO and it is so light that it is like wearing air.

Enjoy!

Richard,
Did you use the existing spring bars? Was it a tight fit?

Dan,

Yes I did use the existing bars and yes it was tight, but I was able to work it through. Had it been any thicker I would have had to put the pins over the strap. Now a Zulu may be a different story as I understand they are a bit thicker.
