Hi,

I like it.
A lot of watches used to come on various fabric straps in the 1960’s and 1970’s. So it is a look and style that I like. Plus it adds a splash of colour.
All the best.

Till next time…

The Laird

A black NATO would make the watch pop I think :)

Me thinks the bracelet is the best option for the DJ but if you're happy with it...

As long as you're happy, but I think the DJ is a dress watch and that doesn't go too well with a NATO.

Also not for me, but I am sure many people will love. It is just a matter of preference. Overall, I am not a big NATO fun on smaller/dressy watches.

I don't this combo quite works, but a black NATO on a DJ with black stick dial and smooth bezel would look very sharp, I bet.

Something a little more subdued in color would be my preference, but hey, it's a watch on a nylon strap.

You can wear it and you're not stuck with an expensive decision.

Not a fan of Nato/Rubber/thick leather straps.
Bracelet or classic leather for me.

I wouldn't call a DJ/DD a dress watch. Though I'm sure it could pass for one.
