Black/Grey for sure. I've never seen the red before but it's kind of cool with the red Sub though. You ought to include a poll.

Well, to each his own, and I for my part am not a big fan of NATO straps, although I do realize the practicability of them.

But if I were to choose, I'd prefer the classic black/grey G10 NATO strap.

When you start a thread you can scroll down and and check the poll option. I'm not sure if it is too late but you may be able to hit the edit button and try it.

Bond, James Bond. Black/gray if I had to have a NATO strap. I'd really prefer the Oyster bracelet.

I'm not sure if you can add a poll after the thread's started - maybe Steve can shed some light on this.

In the meantime, with other Subs I'd vote for grey/black, but I think the red's kinda cool with the Red Sub.

Black/Grey for sure! It is a bit more subtle for my liking.

i agree, the old bracelet has been repaired, but my dad doesn't like it (see prior threads on this watch and how it was found). I have put the original in the lock box and put this on for him. he prefers a simple band.

"which band do you think looks better?"

It's a tossup between Perry Como, Marilyn Manson. and Mel Torme.

I've allways liked the black & grey, but with that red Sub I think I would choose the black & red one. Like a statement... This aint no ordinary Sub!!!

I would be curious how the RED/Black would look on a RED/BLACK GMT.
As to your fantastic 1680R----Bond had it right.

I strongly agree with Gedenkin, I think the black and red looks like a million with the red sub. You don't see too many black and red straps.
