Icon17 Pics -- NATO on New GMT

Sorry not so good, but the temp in my house is 70*, outside is already hot, and it feels like 95% humidity, so I got some condensation on the lens.

Very Nice!!!! You might want to also try a Zulu Strap (Search at www.lapolicegear.com). The Zulu only has one layer of fabric undeneath the watch, compared to two layers of the NATO, thus watch sits a little flatter on wrist.

Looks Great with the NATO!!!

I've got a Zulu on my Seiko Diver. The material is MUCH thicker. The NATO is very thin, so there is really not a tremendous difference between the NATO being doubled over and the Zulu with one pass.

And, BTW, thanks!

Well, I for my part am not fond of adding Nato straps to Rolex watches, but whatever makes you happy

Nothing personel, but putting a $6,000 watch on a $20 band, just does not look right.

With that said if you like it, that is all that counts. S/F

Yeah, that's what the ladies at the jewelry shop were saying when I wanted the bracelet removed. I think, "YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT...?" was the exact words from one of them.

IF (thats a big if ) money were not an object for me, I would have a true tactical rolex with a strap. I do alot of backpacking back-country stuff, shooting, and the like. I hate a bracelet for that kind of stuff. A strap is a must. Some times looks must sacrifice to function. If you cant use a rolex as a tool if you want, what good is it? Of course I would put it on a sub, which is much more practical/tactical then a GMT
