What do y'all think?
Just bought this today, not exactly sure what to make of it yet. This is my first NATO strap, as far as I can tell its very comfortable though. Just thought I'd share some pics. The strap was free so I'm not worried if I decide I don't like it.

To me it looks like an expensive watch on a cheap mismatched strap, but I've been told my taste isn't much.

Not a NATO fan here, but I'm a business professional so that doesn't look too appropriate in the business world. I guess it depends where and how you wear it.

Sorry, classic watch on a fabric strap.
 Not my cup of tea but up to you.

I agree, I just put the bracelet back on.
Also a little side note, those 2 of my fathers were bought at the same time same place in ~'74 by him and his brother. |

Personally I prefer straps to bracelets,and NATO straps serve a purpose for those who don't want to get their bracelets or croc straps gummed up. They are comfy, secure, and disposable.

Looks good for a different look but I like the bracelet the best. I will throw a NATO or leather strap on every once and a while for a change.
Btw, welcome to the forum

I'm a fan of the NATO's. It's something different, something understated. I personally love the idea of throwing an expensive watch on a cheap strap, an oxymoron if you will. I have five different NATO's for my Exp II and just really like the look. I have yet to wear it with a suit and probably wouldn't. With jeans and for a more casual look and feel I like the NATO. Do what suits you.

Great looking watch but maybe not on that strap - I wear a rubber one on my Red and love the look as an alternative to the bracelet.
