My first post, my first Rolex, my first try of a NATO strap - my girlfriend says it looks awful but I quite like it while I'm off work...

Hi and welcome to the forum! Won't go as far as to say it looks awful but I tend to agree with your girlfriend. I have a 1600 which pretty much looks like your watch and tried it on a Nato and it just looked off to me. Same thing when I tried it with my Daytona. But put a Sub or GMT on nylon and I'm sold.

Haha, when I go back to work (suit and tie job) i'll swap it back to something more tasteful but for the holidays it's staying. Thanks for the welcome.

I think it's the stick dial and thin hands that make it not work on a Nato. Have you tried a leather strap? No doubt it would be a good look.

Yep, this is it normally, I've only had it a few weeks so I'm still experimenting. I've got various straps on order....it's a bit addictive :-)
