Explorer II Polar on NATO
I decided to put my new Explorer II on NATO this morning and I thought I would share a quick photo. I have a good selection of colors and every single strap that I tried looked great with the white dial. Today, I am going with the desert tan...

Super cool and comfy looking!
I'd ask where to get one of these "NATO" straps, but my last four posts that requested information have been completely ignored... Nice watch though!

Type NATO straps into Google - there's load of places that sell them. I'd recommend where I get mine from but as you're on the other side of the planet I guess you'd prefer somewhere closer to home.

Honestly, I think the ExpII looks better with a NATO strap - it must be the contrast with the bezel.
All of these are great examples - beautiful! |

Your Explorer II looks fantastic on a NATO! specially the olive one :) I saw a man wearing a polar explorer on a orange NATO at JFK airport for thanks giving break, and thought it looks really nice

I have not been a fan of the nato straps, but I think both the tan and the gray look VERY nice. I might have to look into this...

I think the Desert Tan and the Gray are my favorites so far. This is the only Rolex in my collection where I actually prefer the NATO strap to the bracelet. The bezel and white dial just tie it all together so nicely.

WOW that looks great Stan! I love the way the white and red tie into the colors on the dial.

Grey definitely looks good. Maybe off topic, but wondering if anyone has tried the Exp II with a rubber strap?

I have seen the Exp II black on nato but never on the polar. It looks great and now I will have to try it on mine.

wow the Expy II polar looks great on all of those straps - I really like the tan and gray ones.
I love that crispy white dial :)
