I'm wanting to try a NATO strap or two on my 16750 Pepsi GMT. Thinking about a rough out suede one, but I'm also wanting to try a nylon one.

What's your favorite color choice for nylon straps? Gray? Black? Would an army green one work?

If you have one on your GMT, please share pictures.

Thanks!

ashbaug2 · 23 June 2018, 05:11 AM

Try a red, white and blue NATO!

Otherwise, black, grey, navy blue... Definitely NOT an army/olive green... Save that for an all black watch...

No, no, no, just no!

Dark grey, grey, beige or navy :)

strafer_kid · 23 June 2018, 07:17 AM

Dark blue works pretty good

The Speed Bird

I think a navy nato would work. Please don't do a red and blue nato though, way too matchy-matchy. Too cute.

Personally, I don't care for a Pepsi on a nato but I do think it looks good on a brown distressed leather strap.

PepsiBezel · 23 June 2018, 10:40 AM

A grey or gunmetal color NATO “might” work okay on the Pepsi, though it is not a great watch for NATO straps. The bezel does all the “popping” and everything NATO or non-oyster/jubilee strap-wise just make it too busy of a watch.

Admiralty grey is always classic. Grey perlon works too...

Dan Pierce · 23 June 2018, 10:12 PM

Geez Jim, if you're gonna put me on the spot like that.

Speedbird it is.

Or, there's always red, white, & blue.

Bracelet 99% of the time

Only in distress will i turn to brown leather, but it just doesnt look as good and within a week they are back on the bracelets again

Never on nato ( not just pepsi and coke, any watch) - hate the things, and they scratch the watch backs like crazy

Just my 2 cents

Admiralty grey, olive, grey, khaki would be my suggestions.

RazorD · 25 June 2018, 04:44 AM

I like gray.

Really? It is so minor it isn't worth thinking about.

Maybe I should rethink even wearing my watches since they get scratched more that way.

The gray and black NATO seems to work fairly well for me.

That insert has spent some serious time riding with you Springer! Beautiful!

Yes it has. Many rides from Texas to Sturgis and many other journeys in between.

jdmi32 · 4 July 2018, 01:50 AM

I reserve the red, white and blue for July 4. Otherwise I mostly wear it on a grey and sometimes black nato.

It just works so well. I still have mine, just don't have the GMT to put it on.

I like them. It's hard to mess up a nato...they have some that are sewn together v. "glued". I prefer the sewn variation as it's higher quality.
