What about GMT II Coke on a Bond?

I don't like this one as well as the all black NATO.

I think I need an all black bezel insert for this to work well.

Your thoughts?







And one for comparison.

Throw your pepsi insert back on and wear the black. I think black straps actually looks better with the pepsi than the coke, my wife thinks so too and she knows this kinda stuff. I do prefer Zulu strap to nato's, but everyone has their preferences. OH, the bond looks horrible.


Check out my dog Daisy wondering what the heck I am doing, I just noticed she was in the pic... funny.

I think you need the all black bezel for the bond nato. Black one looks good with the black/red bezel though.

i was actually not a fan of the bond on either coke or pepsi. When i throw my bond nato on it looks much better on all black. the all black nato or the nato with red stripes look great IMO on pepsi and coke.

I like the Bond on the Red/Black. The black picks up the bezel and the dial and the gray contrasts nicely with the bezel edge and the lugs.

I think the Nato and Zulu bands are cool. Where can a person buy these items? They definitely give a different look for sure over SS bracelets.

Thanks for the pix and the site links.
I have a coke and have been contemplating going with one of these ballistic nylon straps. Suits my lifestyle a bit better and will save the SS for when I want to 'dress up' the watch again.
