Milgauss GV on a Nato strap
Hi - first Rolex, and first post to the forum.
I know some of you guys are big fans of the Nato look - I really liked the Sub and Explorer on a Nato and it inspired me to give my GV a run with some Nato straps...I like the look - gives much more of a tool look for the GV. Interested in your thoughts...

I have to say I'm a fan of the nato strap, however I don't think it works with this watch.

The Milgauss (and the Explorer 1) feel like the most non obvious Rolex - quite subtle except when that sapphire flashes  I was drawn to the Milgauss because of the classic 50s appearance and tool nature of the design, and the not widely recognizable shape/face. On a Nato, the Milgauss is totally transformed from quite a dressy watch into a much more classic tool Rolex imho. |

I love NATOs and I would not have guessed they'd work on a Milgauss... but I have to say it looks pretty cool. Thanks for the pics

The Milgauss looks best on the green. A 'military' feel to it.

Nice, but IMHO takes away from the very classy look of the Milgauss :(
Stick to a Sub on a nato ;) |
