Datejusts on Nato Straps?
Thinking about putting my 10613 on a Nato strap. Anyone have any photos of Datejusts on Natos?

Most my natos are Maratac, anyone recommend other quality ones with different colors?

Check out Gnomon. They have every NATO you can think of. They have a ton of striped, regimental looking stuff.

I think it looks great. Just like an explorer I on a nato.

TT DJ's won't work on natos imo. SS, no problem - as dan's picture shows, smooth bezels win over fluted when on natos.

When I read the thread title I thought no right away, then I saw this pic and think it looks sharp. Wish it were mine.

If the OP fancies a change from the bracelet, why not go for leather and Etur's endlinks.

Well I guess it depends on what the datejust looks like. I mean wouldn't it look wierd if you had a two-tone datejust with diamond indices and then you use a NATO strap on it? I think it'll look screamingly wierd.

Hi,

I think this looks fantastic, Dan. Bang on, I say!

It gives the watch a very rugged and tool watch look.

Till next time...

I would. I think it says, "Yeah, that's right -- I'm a man with style who's not afraid to go beyond the fluted bezel and a jubilee bracelet!"
