What do you think about this?

I'm giving my rivited C.I. Oyster bracelet a much needed break. What do you guys think about the OD green Maratac on my vintage GMT? Is it ugly or what? I sort of dig it...

I wore the same on Friday. I bought the olive drab Maratac and think it looks great on the 1675 GMT.

It's awesome how our opinions vary... I guess it boils down to what we each like as individuals, right?

Looks great. The olive green matches the bezel insert nicely!

This is my 16750 on a red & black nato, I am not mad about nato's on GMT's but that's just a personal thing, I think the colour works well with the Pepsi though

Thanks Jim! I actually like the OD green strap. It must be my tremendous love for our military that makes me partial to the color...

I guess the question to ask is would you wear a pair of green/olive trousers with a black shirt that has red and blue stripes on it, I wouldn't especially with the blue in it, but whatever sails your boat and makes you happy;)

I think it makes a statement that it is tool watch, no nonsense and rugged to boot !

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it makes it look tough and I like it.

I love the Pepsi on Olive Drab Nato. Looks great on Khaki and Blue, too.
