How about another one "NATO" on Subdate
After seeing alot of Nato on Sub shots I finally picked one up as well and I say it looks great. Very combat looking




Thanks for looking,


Andy

Where have you been for the last couple of days JJ? Missed you! Glad to see that a NATO strap has brought you back to your spiritual home.

I'd be worried they would scratch or ding the Sub.

I love the NATO strap. My SD is back on the original bracelet at the moment... but that may change soon

Thanks

I think you should combine the two and put the Sub on the beaded bracelet. Could start a new trend!

The way the ends loop around all that hardware, it just looks too bulky. Do they make a two piece version?

I've never been a big fan of the solid black NATO. I prefer the gray or Bond NATO straps.

I think it looks great. It suits the sub's utilitarian / diving heritage.

Thanks for the picture.

Cheers - Simon

oh the beads are very smooth and no worries of dinging or scratching my watch up. Also thanks for all the great comments guys. It's nice to see a change from bracelet to a strap as the feeling of it is nice getting a new watch
