No NATO here, Fred. Just a simple 1 piece military style. Still wrong though, huh? But they wear so nice. I know, I know. Just going to try a few until a new one comes in.

Hahaha! In the junk drawer .... where the strap needs to go, too it looks like!

Leather is the way to go; just can't decide which. Want to have a vintage feel. Not sure if I want gator or buffalo. Also thought about red stitching.

Well, I have looked at this combo a few times and it's growing on me. Sell me the Timex?

I'll go against the grain and say it didn't look too bad :wink: but then I like NATO style straps... I think a leather NATO wouldnt look too bad either

I know its wrong...but I love how the blued hands and red indices pop out with the NATO. I'm not even a NATO fan. 95 times out of a hundred yes, the contrasting stitch leather band is right . But on the right summer day, a little hot and humid (like it can get in Missouri) I think it would look fun.

i'm generally a natophobe but i quite liked it; not as much as i'd like a croc strap, but i certainly didn't hate it.

I agree with Watchfred and Roffensian - now you know it's bad (the nylon)

Tastes differ on colors, but the adjustability is comfortable and practical. That's why I got a MTM ballistic velcro in black for my Navitimer World.
