Hi,

I want to buy some NATO straps that would fit onto the GMT II 16710 Coke version. Can you help me out and tell me which size of the strap I should be looking for so that it fits well onto this particular watch? Also, what type of NATO strap goes well with the coke gmt in your opinion? Thanks much.

20mm. Love this combo from my friend, Jocke.

Love that nato strap!! I have it on my 16750 expII white. love it!

Another option to think about is using the tropical black nato (braided) in 20mm. The thing about braided is that you can make micro adjustment on the strap so it'll fit nice and snug. I have a small wrist. Had that combo on my GMT coke for awhile. Makes the red & black bezel stands out.

Don't forget the Zulu option

I'm a big fan of Bone Frog Zulu's. For a Coke: I'd go for black, od green, grey or khaki.

Here's my Pepsi with a bezel insert swap:

I prefer the zulu's round hardware zulu to nato's flat, thinner hardware. feel more robust

Some of these look really good!

This inspires a notion that a Sand Zulu could complement a Root Beer. Should have that strap in hand soon.

Very nice pics!

Nice pictures everyone! Love the new look that a watch gets after removing the steel bracelet.

Just couple more questions:

- can you explain the difference between NATO and ZULU straps? Which one more comfortable?
- where I can buy good quality straps? Any websites ?
- Is 20mm strap good for both GMT II (16710) as well as Sub-ND (14060)?

Thanks a million !

Subs and gmt carry. The same 20mm straps Zulus straps a little thicker than NATO straps

A plain simple black leather suits mine just fine :)

Looks like Maratac has some options I could enjoy. Any other providers worth mentioning? Just want to avoid ebay as much as I can.
