A friend of mine gave me a black nato to try out for the first time. How does it look? Its comfy.

Baco Noir · 11 October 2010, 02:20 PM

Looks great! Just ordered a black one that I can use with all three of my watches and an orange one to go with my Seiko Orange Monster. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas for the mailman to arrive!!!

xjeeunitx · 11 October 2010, 09:07 PM

It looks great! Doesn't it almost feel like it's a totally different watch? When I used to have my PO, I would randomly switch it up to the NATO.

unclesallie · 11 October 2010, 09:11 PM

Once upon a time, I had an old Planet Ocean, but the new ones are really nice, and that looks great on the NATO. Wear it in good health!

mask1196 · 11 October 2010, 10:30 PM

looks clean!

Dan Pierce · 11 October 2010, 10:34 PM

A great match.

inLine4 · 12 October 2010, 01:54 AM

Thanks guys. Never had a nato strap before. I always had braclets on all my watches.

chriseskew24 · 12 October 2010, 02:01 AM

Nothing beats a good nato IMHO

wgs · 12 October 2010, 03:17 AM

Great combo!

Just my personal opinion but I think the PO looks better with a strap than a bracelet.

Cicindela · 12 October 2010, 03:36 AM

I guess I'll be the dissenting vote here, I think the PO looks better on its bracelet or as I have it, on Omega mesh

Hansch99 · 12 October 2010, 07:59 AM

It looks great! For me, though, the watch ended up being a little too tall when I tried it on my Planet Ocean.

gaopa · 12 October 2010, 10:14 AM

If I owned that beatiful PO it would always stay on the OEM bracelet. Cheers, Bill P.

Ed Rooney · 12 October 2010, 12:42 PM

Like the rubber straps better. Just not the right fit for this watch, IMO.

AJC · 13 October 2010, 05:58 AM

Hey Mate,

I like the Nato it looks pretty smart.

But then again I might be biased. Heres a picture of my old PO from 06.

Cheers

Nicko · 13 October 2010, 06:14 AM

Simply stunning. Looks like it just belongs on the watch!

Billmanweh · 13 October 2010, 06:24 AM

hmmm, I think I like the bracelet better

inLine4 · 13 October 2010, 01:36 PM

Thanks for all the inputs. I like both of them and switch them around depending on mood.

TARDIS · 13 October 2010, 02:05 PM

These photos are infectious

Anyone know where I can buy a NATO to fit a big size PO?

Do they go underneath the watch?

How safe are they?

Billmanweh · 13 October 2010, 02:15 PM

They do go underneath the watch. I would think they would be the safest strap possible, both pins would have to fail to lose your watch.

Be aware that dirt and grit can get between the NATO strap and the caseback resulting in scratches and wear. If you use a NATO, place a piece of clear tape on the caseback to protect it.

And you are absolutely correct. I have no idea what all the NATO fixation is about, but it appears to be widespread on this board.

gaopa · 14 October 2010, 12:27 PM

Oh wow! Now that I see the watch photos side by side..... hands down, no question about it, the bracelet wins by a landslide! Cheers, Bill P.

SirGrotius · 24 October 2010, 11:27 AM

The strap works, but the bracelet works even more. That said, great looking watch all around!

If you are afraid not to scratch your watch so badly

dont wear it.
