Picked up this beauty yesterday...do you like it better on the tan or bond strap?

Also have Oyster bracelet too, but much prefer casual look. Lets hear it!

datejust1 · 7 February 2010, 08:30 AM

Bond Nato fo' sho!!!

rfknauss · 7 February 2010, 08:36 AM

Looks better on the Bond NATO in my opinion.

Speed · 7 February 2010, 08:38 AM

Congrats!!! I say Bond Black & Gray or plain Black!!

Rebel · 7 February 2010, 08:49 AM

I am going to depart with some of my distinguished TRF brethren and vote for the OD green.

swatty · 7 February 2010, 09:09 AM

Black and grey

davestan · 7 February 2010, 09:14 AM

Very complimentary look with black and grey - the other one doesn't look right.

cronin · 7 February 2010, 09:20 AM

Looks great on both but I prefer the bond. Nice watch!

DatDude · 7 February 2010, 09:26 AM

Thanks for the input guys! Here I was thinking the Tan was the way to go.

A better pic of the dial...really superb, original 5512 with evenly faded dial, hands, and pearl. Newer bezel insert but no biggie there. Was love at first sight.

Renoir · 7 February 2010, 10:09 AM

Beautiful 5512!!!

Another vote for Bond Nato....

Lucy Diamond · 7 February 2010, 10:11 AM

Bond all the way!

trel · 7 February 2010, 10:13 AM

I dunno, I actually think the olive drab gives it a real hard-edged, military look. The Bond NATO is starting to get a little predictable, IMHO.

TheBluePrince · 7 February 2010, 10:33 AM

Tan.

............get a corvus instead of that "Bond" NATO!

kcmo · 7 February 2010, 10:35 AM

Very nice! I prefer it with the Bond!

therolexguy · 7 February 2010, 11:06 AM

bracelet first, bond nato second, tan?.....
Great watch. Congrats!

Dan Pierce · 7 February 2010, 11:08 AM

I like both.

dP

dalip · 7 February 2010, 11:10 AM

Bond!!

rpmooreii · 7 February 2010, 11:18 AM

Of the two choices given I definitely like the tan.

IMHO, a real Bond Nato (w/ the thin red stripes), a MOD grey, or black look the best.

mike · 7 February 2010, 12:01 PM

Killer example.

I'd go with the Bond style, but as stated grey would be shap as well.

Lowflight · 7 February 2010, 12:51 PM

NATO or a nice 9315 would be cool

chiubak · 7 February 2010, 02:40 PM

when you got one these it look good on any thing!

volkersports · 7 February 2010, 04:04 PM

Nice thing about the Nato straps is that you can change them easily as suits the occasion.

2005rivers · 7 February 2010, 04:21 PM

I think bond nato, watch looks great

onkyo · 7 February 2010, 04:44 PM

Nato looks better IMO... but what's wrong with your oyster.

Latrodectus · 7 February 2010, 04:59 PM

Congratulations! I like it on the Bond better...

ParisDakarBmw · 7 February 2010, 05:03 PM

Both compliment the watch. The olive brings out the patina on the lume. The Bond makes it look a little more militant.

Dr. Robert · 7 February 2010, 05:18 PM

I like the "Bond" stripe.

PhilM · 7 February 2010, 10:07 PM

I like both

robsteve · 7 February 2010, 10:27 PM

Your Bond looks a bit narrow. Is it an 18mm?

Except for the width problem, I think the Bond looks better.

Robert

DatDude · 8 February 2010, 04:57 AM

It is indeed an 18mm...i purchased it a while back thinking i'd put it on my Omega Ranchero, but decided to stick with black instead.
