White Milgauss on NATO. Thoughts? (Pic)

Hey guys. What’re your thoughts on this? Does a NATO even work on a Milgauss? It’s a weird mixture of dress and sport.

What’re your thoughts of this look?

How about an orange and white NATO strap on your Milgauss? Something like this?

I'm not a big nato fan and a milgauss might be too top heavy for it but it does look good. I thought of trying a Rubberb on mine but I'm too much of a bracelet fan.

I have seen it on others and looks great! But with my colourful wrist unfortunately there’s a little to much going on

Andre; I'm a fan of doing what ever moves one and letting the other make noise as their left out of the decision process. If someone likes something they should act on it. The change is reversible.

That makes sense. The green is very understated and goes well with just about any watch, including your Milgauss. It actually makes the dial stand out, vs the orange/white NATO which would probably take away some attention from that beautiful dial!

While obviously not the same strap, I think this looks terrible. The OP's choice of strap leaves all the attention on the dial where it belongs.

Don’t like NATO straps on any watch. But I like your Milgauss quite a bit.

I like it, and love NATOs in general. The comfort of a broken-in NATO is unsurpassed.

I think it looks pretty damn cool and would be a nice alternative from the tried and true oyster bracelet!

I would only wear a NATO that picked up a color on the dial. In your case black, white, orange or a combination. Not a fan of introducing a different one to the mix.

That’s honestly the first Rolex on a Nato that I have liked. Looks great.

The hardware doesn't match the watch imo. You would be better off with something like this:

strap color looks great, but you need polished ss hardware to match the watch
