Hi,

As above. I have a Breitling Colt auto, A17350. I wear it 24/7 and it tends to get fairly abused because of this. I was wondering if anyone has used a James Bond style Nato strap, or if anyone has any pictures of such? I'm wondering if it would look good and it would stop the strap getting as scratched?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi All!

Can someone please post a pic of a NATO Strap?

What does a NATO strap looks like?


Regards,

Enezdez

No no no no no...... well yes, but no.. :D Yes that's a nato strap, but not a james bond style nato strap. I've attached some pictures so you can see..... they're called James Bond Nato straps as James Bond used this style strap in some of the movies, both with a Rolex and Omega - no breitling unfortunately! See what you think..... it could look good with a Colt.... or not? :)

Just because we don't like it does not mean you won't. What do you think of those pics? Make your own decision. I think it dresses down the watch considerably.
