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.

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
