Question about Master Coaxial 300

Got the Sedna Rose with black dial.
I am looking to maybe throw a NATO on it.
Now I understand the lug width is 21mm (stupid omega)
Would 20 or 22 fit best since its impossible to get a rose buckle nato/zulu in 21?

also, would black or brown go with the watch do you think, or both??

thanks everyone for their opinion. i want to dress it down a bit as its got a bit too much bling with the bracelet

I don't do NATO and risk damaging the case back but I did get a 22mm nylon/velcro Bond strap from B&R Bands for a more casual look.

As a matter of fact, I also ordered a 20mm Khaki strap for the 19mm lugs of my FOIS and a 24mm Bond for the 23mm lugs of my Citizen beater. The Bond squeezed in nicely on the Citizen but haven't gotten around to strapping the other two.

Bottom line: go up a mm with the 22mm. Either black or brown would look good with the Sedna.

Don't Omega have their own "NATO" G10 straps now anyway ?

I'd say 22mm looks better, as 20mm will leave a small gap of spring bar showing... both will work, though.

Noticed your RG SM300 is up for sale? Curious what drove your decision. Too much bling? Love affair wore off quickly?

Lols, if that's the case, not surprised. Between Will and Seth, I think they go through more watches than DavidSW.

I would not put a nato on a rose gold watch, I feel I paid way too much money to not enjoy that metal. No nato for me. This watch is just gorgeous in all it's sedna gold bracelet.

Agree. If you're going all gold, then own it.

That watch is far to nice to be put on a Nato.
