damn new NATO strap - what to do?!?



picked up this 20mm NATO strap from eBay last week at an awesome price (lets put it this way - it was rude not buying it ) and i still cant think of a Rolex for it

is that wrong?!?



any suggestions?


(the "leave the bracelet on the watch" and/or "throw it in the bin" AREN'T options, thank you very much! )

Yeah Eric, now you have an excuse to go out and get a new watch.


Never has a Nato been so expensive.

Explorer I. Been itching for one.
But that's cause I live vicariously through others in Rolex world. Always easy to spend other's money.

Had NATO on my Speedy and Breitling. Speedy now on a gen black gator and Breitling back to stock steel.

Expensive nylon, indeed.

I think any Rolex would do really. As long as it is a new watch that you don't already have and it sings to you that's what is important. If you wish to put it on a Nato Strap they are pretty inexpensive you could always get a different Nato Strap if you need to.

good one - keep trying Dan.
maybe i should keep it until Basel and see if there will be a new one to match the strap
