Guess not.....
That's a big watch for leather, plus it's made to be in the water. The nato is different of course but I think 98% wear it on a bracelet. |

I do all the time, but I haven't taken a photo for some reason! Will post eventually. For some reason, the 580 end links make for a very tight fit on mine and so swapping out the bracelet is actually a PITA. On my sub, it takes about 5 seconds, go figure.

Nikos I love the look of the Nato matching the patina. Too cool.

I like oyster, but mine is on other straps more often.

Great pics, leather natos look great. But as always, plain gray NATO steals my heart every time.

The 1655 is a model that looks great on a NATO. I like it when the strap has a stipe of orange as that picks up the colour of the orange on the 24 hour hand.....that is of course unless you have an albino

My 1655 on a NATO / ZULU
This is my 1655 Explorer II on a Navy blue Zulu strap as it waits on a new bracelet.
It also looks great with orange and red |
