A perlon would look much better

jjnd08 · 7 August 2015, 05:12 AM

Big time nay. Put it on leather.

1803 with jet black nato with gold hardware.... Yeah!

President all the way!

themaninblack · 6 October 2016, 02:42 PM

I say no. Quality conventional straps, even in colour or exotics for these watches IMO.

gnuyork · 6 October 2016, 11:11 PM

I am a huge proponent of NATO straps, but I don't think it works on the day date (or DJ).

Depends on the colors and hardware material.

Dress watch + NATO = Wrong. Sorry.
And I love NATOs, and DDs! Just not together.

No, the NATO overwhelms the DD.

My father insisted on wearing the DD I got him on a Nato. I have done it on occasion and it wears fine, looks great in the summer on a white strap with a stripe, etc. I know I'm in the minority, such is life.

Ancon Harpy · 1 March 2017, 08:21 AM

This combo is one of the better options if you like NATOs. Hard to find
gold colored stripe on them.

Kingface66 · 1 March 2017, 08:47 AM

It's like sneakers with a tuxedo.

Bigblack · 3 March 2017, 07:33 AM

think i would prefer it on a nice leather i don't think the military look suits the gold and case shape

drandall01 · 3 March 2017, 11:49 PM

a dress watch and a NATO go together like a mercedes sedan and off-road tires. it's a total mismatch and IMHO does a disservice both to the watch as well as the wearer.

The role of a Rolex dress watch is not to be a Submariner, or a Daytona, it's to be a dress watch. Put it on a handsome leather strap or bracelet and let it be the best version of itself...the thing it was designed to be.

dbhak22 · 4 March 2017, 07:11 AM

To each their own of course but as a big fan of natos, I think the DD looks best on leather strap (we can all agree the bracelet is always #1 but putting that aside):

I put my DJ on a nato rarely and that's already a big stretch in my opinion...
