cgjane · 19 February 2011, 01:08 AM

2jabs · 19 February 2011, 01:12 AM

Love it, looks great. where did you get it?

JJL · 19 February 2011, 01:16 AM

See that's what I like to see, some creativity!! Looks great congrats

Boadicea · 19 February 2011, 01:20 AM

When I saw the title I thought I was going to be sick... but I actually kinda like it! Well done!

AK40DJ50 · 19 February 2011, 01:21 AM

That DJ looks surprisingly good on the white NATO. Also pretty unique.

Dr. Robert · 19 February 2011, 01:29 AM

Looks good. Perfect for gin & tonics on the yacht!

Justjosh · 19 February 2011, 02:13 AM

I really expected it to look awful, but I actually like it. Though, I know I could never wear it as it would be filthy in no time.

jwkunkle · 19 February 2011, 02:19 AM

Looks quite summery!!

kerrison · 19 February 2011, 03:14 AM

Thanks everyone for your comments. The reason of putting an NATO strap on is really because I am in the armed forces and I don't really want to worry about the bracelet too much. As I am a musician so I am not in the field too much but I do move quit a bit of kit around when we are traveling. I suppose it won't stay so white for very long lol but it's part of the fun.

I got the strap from eBay UK, just search under "tropical NATO strap 18mm"

Ah I asume you are a bootneck then if you are a musician?! I did 11 years as a survey recorder in the RN

Im gonna have to check those straps out they are great!

duckdown · 19 February 2011, 04:30 AM

Hate the NATO's but I have to admit that's one of the cooler ones I've seen...

My husband was in the RNR and he loved it. He pulls my leg occasionally about him being in the senior service lol. Yes do have a look at the strap, the seller was very good. After reading your post I am thinking about getting a spare one just in case mine gets too dirty! After all white nato strap is hard to come by!

Speed · 19 February 2011, 06:41 AM

I think this is a first on TRF...for that combo.

onryo · 19 February 2011, 05:46 PM

Easter came early! I never even thought of this combo, but it looks great!

HL65 · 19 February 2011, 10:25 PM

I like it---very clean and cool looking!!

Aspirin · 20 February 2011, 12:39 AM

I respected your taste, but no please!

Rolesor · 20 February 2011, 01:22 AM

I like the white on white - nice combo!

acce1999 · 20 February 2011, 01:33 AM

I am coming back to this thread just to look at your picture again. That white dial is one of the best DJ dials ever, especially with the new broader hands compared to the older DJ. I need some time to get used to the white strap. Not white in itself, but the strap as such. Did you ever consider other white straps?

Thanks for sharing the picture.

Best,

A

Dan Pierce · 20 February 2011, 01:33 AM

Great combo, you wear it well.

bayerische · 20 February 2011, 06:49 PM

Now that's a bright looking watch!

Yes I did consider other white straps. I used to have an Omega Aqua Terra (White face) and I had White lizard leather straps with it sometimes which went really well with the watch. So perhaps I will do the same with my DJ sometime in the future. Using the NATO strap is mostly for practical reason as it is my only watch and I want to wear it for all activities while preserving the bracelet a bit. I know NATO on DJ might not be the most stylish of ideas but when I saw the white straps I knew it would work at least on the colour front. It is working well so far for what is intended. And thank you for everyone being so tolerant as I know it is not everyone's cup of tea!

mluther · 20 February 2011, 07:22 PM

Yep - really thought I'd struggle when I saw it, but looks great

nauticajoe · 20 February 2011, 11:41 PM

I like it.

Rags · 21 February 2011, 01:17 AM

To each his own but I'm not feeling the love for that combo..
