Does anyone have a pic of a "non-standard" watch on a NATO? We've all seen the pics of the SS Subs, GMTs, and Milgauss. What about a TT Blue Sub, or an Explorer 1, or a Day-Date or some such oddity?

Someone has a Daytona on a NATO a few days ago. I think the thread was "daytona con NATO"

Explorer an oddity on NATO??? It belongs on a NATO!

ecsub44 · 27 March 2011, 12:55 AM

Wow! That Datejust looks OUTSTANDING. The others do too...but that strap just makes look like an entirely different watch.

And I think that's the first Exp 1 I've seen on a NATO. I think that might be the watch I'm most lusting over. It has such a classic/retro/vintage/military look on that olive NATO.

Keep them coming!

Does a Sea Dweller count???

Nice, man, nice!

I don't want to start the whole "you can tell by the length of the hands" thing but is that a 36mm or a 39?

For some reason, I can't tell when they are on someones wrist. The Expy is the only watch this happens with... Am I going insane?

It's a good old 36mm. You can tell by where they've placed "Explorer" on the dial, if nothing else; upper half on the old one, below on the new.

Here is my 1953, 6150 Explorer on a Nato.

Puffy · 28 March 2011, 02:22 AM

cool pics all!

LI Matt · 28 March 2011, 03:14 AM

I wore my Oysterdate on a NATO while shopping for a "real" strap:

EDIT -- darnit! Every time I try to post a picture on here, it comes up enormous. There must be something I'm doing wrong.

dddrees · 28 March 2011, 05:00 AM

A number of very good examples.

Great looking combos guys.

Michael M. · 28 March 2011, 05:03 AM

subkrawler · 29 March 2011, 01:27 PM

I agree with Jolu, nothing strange about an Explorer on a NATO.

JimSnyder · 29 March 2011, 01:30 PM

Had one on my Omega. The watch has moved on
