YM + Nato?

Hey guys,

I have a couple of natos I used on my sub.Now that the sub is gone, I thought on trying the YM on natos.

What do you guys think? I have mixed feelings and I'm going to be adding an everest rubber, maybe black.

Thanks

I really like NATO straps...the second one isn't bad...the first isn't working because of those Buckles. This watch, with the platinum bezel , is more of a luxury design rather than utilitarian. I think the NATO straps look better on a Sub, Exp II, SD, GMT

You might be able to pull off a custom stingray strap...

I'm not crazy about how the YM looks on NATO straps but I think the Everest band might be better suited.

Like the second one. Adds a bit of a something missing from the YM, a nautical look.

I think it would look good if you can find a NATO that's made of 904L and has polished center links

And no weird, unsightly lump on the outside of the wrist. Why ever switch a perfectly solid and comfortable bracelet for a way too long cheap strap...?

If you're really committed to one of those two NATO straps, the second one looks better than plain black.
However, I'll echo the other comments here that the SS bracelet is really the way to go.

Hideous, IMO. Sorry, but I don't see the appeal.
