New straps for SS Sub and TT Sub (Nato) -Some will love! Some (most) may hate!...

Hi all,

so since its summer and getting hot here in Switzerland I thought I'd give the Nylon straps a go.

Now yes I know many of you will hate the strap on the TT, but I am one of them who is mad enough to think it works (with confidence anything can be made to work )

Gives it a younger more sporty look in my Op whilst keeping my bracelets scratch free when i am doing more exetreme things...

so here they are:

SS Sub:


TT sub:

I don't like NATO straps that much, but you have beautiful pieces, and took nice pics.

Congrats,

Max

These look great!!

I really like those Natos you have in your pictures. The hardware seems slightly bulkier than the other Natos I've seen and own, yet a little less bulky than the Zulus I've seen and own. A great mix of the two.

Where did you pick those up if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks for sharing!

Not a fan of NATO's neither but you made a good choice for your TT, it fits the watch very well!

I'm a huge NATO fan (good look for my vintage pieces), but I'm an Ohio State Buckeyes fan, and your TT is a little too reminiscent of Michigan colors :-P

Nice pics....

IMHO, I like the NATO straps best on the Explorer I. The smaller case just seems to go better visually.
