Distressed leather would look great as well.
Haters?

Definitely looks better on a strap than the maxi-case, that was just horrible. I still hate nato-straps more than people wearing masks without covering their noses.

Not going to lie, this actually looks quite ‘okay’. No offense to 11 series owners but those look ridiculous on anything but bracelet. 5 series (and before) still takes the cake though

Sure, but a lot of people have a priori hate for the nato strap and won't even consider the option.
Also, just replying with "no" or "nope" is hardly an opinion.
Anyway, it's all lighthearted, didn't mean any harm.
Cheers!

I’m in this camp as well.

I really think Nato straps look best on 4 digit, then 5 digit references.

I use a Lunar Pertexo single pass strap on all my watches as I seem to get a rash from my case backs but not the bracelet.
So it's Single Pass Lunar Pertexo or PM Mmmmmm

I think the Nato looks great. I love mixing up my watch straps for color variety and style!

126610LN Submariner on Nato Strap

I put the Tudor leather oem strap for my BB GMT on this case as well and will post that up soon too. It shows off the lugs and fit really well.

99% of time mine is on the bracelet. This new 21 mm ss bracelet and clasp is amazing and after three weeks on wrist can say it wears better than prior. Watch feels smaller somehow to me.

Enjoy all the comments, why it’s a forum. My subs spend more time in or on saltwater than most the desk divers anyway. And besides, it’s just a watch

New lugs make all the difference, however for nato my first pick would be a 5 digit sub.

new lugs work way better with Nato and straps in general. So nice!

I like Natos but on this kind of shiny watch it doesnt work. Unfortenly Sub is not a tool watch these days

All my beaters and gym watches are on nato. None are shown in my signature. Thats as far as I go.

Well, this should highlight the difference between cases. The previous Sub looked awful on a NATO but this is

I think it looks great! I was not convinced of this combo with the 11-series cause if the maxi lugs. But on the 12-series it looks very nice IMHO

I disagree. I think the thick ‘shoulders’ of the 11 series actually look great on a nato.

Looks great on a NATO but I always cut off the under strap and the extra keepers.

Much more comfortable to wear.

OP here .

The new Black Bay 41 monochrome is a good combo with these straps too. The aluminum bezel and nato work better than the ceramic.

That being said, it goes immediately back on the jubilee .
