Icon3 MM200 on NATO

Put my JDM MM200 on a couple of NATOs today, which is something I rarely do with any watch these days, but have quite a few lying around and not much else to do.

It doesn't look too bad on these two, I think. The thinner case is one reason I prefer the MM200 over the MM300, it sits much lower on the wrist and doesn't feel as top heavy.

Looks great. I am a fan of NATO straps. On my MM 300 the watch head is a little heavy to work well on a NATO without making the strap so tight it is uncomfortable. I have owned several MM200's but have moved them all along. I am going to go back and check them out again.

Thank you, yes it's surprising how flat the MM200 sits on my 6.5 inch compared to the MM300 (sold mine a while back). I expect it will be even more comfortable on a single-pass NATO, so might get one to try.

Looks great, Adam! Each one of those straps goes very well with the watch.

That's a great look. The last side profile shot shows how neat the lug hole placement is, I didn't realize it before but it's so good.

I also think Seiko watches naturally look great on NATO straps. Something about their somewhat chunky design just seems to feel at home on a NATO.

Thanks, yes the drilled lugs are well located on this one, and the whole case shape works well with many strap types. The lug width being 20mm helps, too

That watch dial color goes well with all the straps.
