Gold Turtle on Olive Nato - does this work?

Does this olive/gold combo work in your opinion? Thank you in advance :-)

Not bad, but gold coloured hardware on the strap would look better, IMO.

I like it

I do agree with Adam above though, gold hardware would look nicer :)

Green and gold is good but black and gold is a little classier.

I think the combination you have is fine for occasional wear but think of the colours that go well with gold.

I might also suggest navy blue and gold is a very classy combination as well.

No

If your brain has to think about it at the initial look, it's a no.

It works for me. Black NATO would be an option also.

I agree

There is a reason why Rolex put a blue dial on the two tone sub!

Jk, I don’t know if they did it on purpose or something, but the final product is beautiful.

Blue and gold goes well in my eyes.

I wish it was smaller, I can't pull this one off.

Thank you guys for the opinions I love seatbelt natos but have yet to find a a manufacturer that does them with gold hardware so if you stumble into any please share. Anywho I did end up procuring a navy blue one as well per Jesus’ recommendation and it looks great! I also have an army green and black standard nato with gold hardware in the mail, will post pics once I get them. Thanks again.

I think that green color NATO and gold mesh together very well. Great combination.

Personally if you go with gold hardware it might look a little to flashy imo.
