The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Thinking of picking up a nato strap for the SOH. Good idea or bad idea? Any recommendations on where to buy? Anyone have pictures of this? Thanks

Never thought if that combination but now I am intrigued to see how it would look.

I will try it out when i get home with one of the 22mm Natos i have.

No middle ground with that set up though i fear.

It'll either be brilliant or terrible.

Nick.

I have mixed feelings about the nato, so to see it would be great in making a final decision. Please post some pictures.

Wheat, Go on ebay you van find some really nice ones and for very little money. That way if you don't like the look you are not out much at all. Pictures please if you do it....

Ok. I tried the SOH on a black Nato, and wasn't blown away.

Tried it on an Olive Drab Nato with black fittings, and thought it looked GREAT.

Then i went to try and find the family camera, and no joy.

Will keep looking, but, if you're thinking of going for a Nato on the SOH, I would say
go for it.

Here are some (poor) pics to help you with your decision. This is with a 22mm Nato though, so it doesn't fit as it should.







Not a terrible look i would say.

Nick

I think that black watch on olive nato really looks good. Military. Tough.

Enjoy.

Peace

I find myself struggling with Natos. I'm just not very much into them, feel they are a little bit flimsy and also many of them look a bit cheap in my opinion. A bit strange as I otherwise am very happy to experiment a lot with leather straps.

However, that shouldn't stop anyone who likes them from wearing them.

I took Rick's advice and picked up one off the bay, black and gray bond style. Not sure about the quality but it has a money back guarantee so I am not too worried. It should be here the next couple of days, I will post pictures when it comes.

I'm not a big fan of NATOs, but I don't think they would be a mismatch with the SOH if you like them.

I wondered about how they would work with such a big heavy watch head, but my Kobold arrived on one and it seemed to support the watch just fine (although I took it off immediately).

Got the strap today. I kinda like it. For $20 it is a fun little strap. The design of the strap tends to hold in the heavy head better than I expected. I am also not used to having a strap this thin, but it is comfortable. Here is a really poor picture taken with my web cam.

Interesting look. Takes some getting used to, but i'm warming up to it. BTW, good color choice IMO.
