This.

Also, changing straps stops me buying more Rolexes. I prefer holidaying with a NATO on, I prefer swimming and exercising with a NATO on, but I always go back to the Oyster.

I have an Erikas Original (MN - marine Nationale - strap) which is similar to a nato on my SD.

On some locations we are not permited steel bracelets on watches, so nato and MN straps are the go to out of requirement to follow health and safety procedures.

I prefer the MN style straps as they are a little more comfortable with handling the weight of the watch, and, they are a very comfortable style of strap in their own right.

I actually just get cheap ones on Amazon and they work great. Not too expensive so I feel less guilty if the wrong color or quality.

I 2nd what Jason says on the Maratacs. I've got some that are over 6 years old and still going strong. I've tried others and keep coming back for the Maratac Cincy Watch Straps have some nice stuff also.

Much prefer them on bracelets, but due to age, bracelets are either stretched too far or relegated and lost.

Not a fan of Natos... especially all the colourful options out there. Same category as colourful socks for me... tacky.
