All black bezel is in hand and will be placed into the timepiece soon so this combo will be better. However I can't get enough of the new Jubilee yet!

Those are great pics of your GMT

By the way, can we borrow $6.95

we need to send something to Allan

Maybe chameleon is the best description for the GMT.

Only NATO I have, I tried it on the IIc and it just made it look cheap. So cheap I did not take any pictures of it.

Subexplorer · 9 March 2009, 10:09 AM

Hi Dan!!
I´m not very fond of Nato bands, but must recognize they are comfy, colorful and very photogenic.
But I find your proposal very fun, so that please enter my name here.
Here goes mine!
Kind regards, Abel

It looks like I missed the birth but I'll stick around to help raise the baby. Here's a couple of mine. More to follow.

We,ve been waiting for ya', Buz.

Love the Tudor chrono/ Bond nato.

Hope you had a great weekend.

apolloman · 10 March 2009, 01:14 AM

the bracelet itself costs hundreds of dollars. would you really want to replace for a cheap nylon band? what's a rolex without the original band?

Lot's of vintage pieces come without original bracelets. And, as you stated, the cost to replace is enormous. Nylon is a inexpensive alternative with military history.
You want to keep that bracelet looking new? Strap a Nato to your Rolex during your next outing when scratches are likely. Then, reinstall the bracelet to add years of life to it.
