I'm really enjoying them on my 16600. I've never tried one on any of my 6-digit models, but I love the bracelets on those so much that I doubt I ever will.

I have not put a NATO band on a Rolex yet, I do have one on my Speedmaster. The original band is from the 70's, so I thought it might look cool.

Very nice watch. By the way what kind of shirt is that you are wearing?

[QUOTE=DLRIDES;7941551]I WAS not a fan of NATO straps, and have been guilty of accusing wearers of cheapening their watch ! I’m starting to come around (somewhat) now. Recently bought a vintage Tudor with a silver dial for casual summer wear and tried a few on it. They are comfortable, easy to change, and can coordinate with most leisure settings. I do not like the ones with the big rounded loops, and too many rings though !



Update on above post :

While experimenting with NATO straps, I ran across Erika's Original Straps.

Ordered, installed, and I HIGHLY recommend this strap ! Elastic fits in the morning and afternoon, vintage look, securely fastens, various stitching and hardware options, single layer under watch, very comfortable, etc ..........

I went with the Original MN Strap[/B]

I find natos to be very comfortable

All the pictures look great. For me it never worked out, had them on nearly all of my rolex and ended up swapping them back to the bracelet after a couple of days.

My 2003 NOS SD got her NATO through, before I even thought of trying on the bracelet... I never did!
It still has all the stickers.
