I think it looks fantastic..especially the second pic. I just received some Nato straps i ordered today...black, black grey, and black red...now i'm thinking of getting that orange one, wondering if it would work on my black faced aerospace...

May i ask where you got them from? ebay?

I'm not very fond of NATO straps.

One the color of your belt would do your Panerai more justice IMO.

I like the looks of the first one and they are pretty comfy, but I don't wear them because I sweat like crazy in the summer and the nylon straps get pretty rank. Also because I believe PAM's were meant for leather! :)

@Boogy I got them from broadarrow.net

Nylon straps are very polarizing. I like them as a cheap alternative to give a watch a new look. I have 6 leather straps for my Pam. Just thought these were fun. I appreciate everyones opinions good or bad.

I love the look of Natos on certain watches. They look great on that Pam.

I was recently thinking about pulling the trigger on a PO and only wearing natos with it. I am fairly young (23) and think they add a youthful informality I can get away with.

I love NATO's, I wear one on my PO most of the time. I'm not a big fan of the orange but the gray looks really nice.

The watch looks great on the natos, both colors.. I plan on getting my first nato on an Omega Seamaster gmt in the next few weeks. How long do these things generally last before they start breaking down?

Not a fan - it's like wearing cheap shoes with a designer suit.
