Yeah Eric, now you have an excuse to go out and get a new watch.
Never has a Nato been so expensive.

Usually I would get the watch first... then the strap for it...
But this works too.....

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.
