Rolex and Nato

Natos have been growing on me but for older models.

Post yours!

Dig it. I love Subs and GMTs on NATO straps. Lots of very high quality options out there now.

NATO’s are great for older models with holed lugs.

Some great combos here.

Not usually a big fan of NATO's on the subs.

They don’t have a bunch of different color combos, but Maratac sold over on CountyComm.com are the best made and most durable that I have used. I have an orange one that is faded, but it has been on more than 250 dives with me. I’ve owned it for probably 6-8 years.

Wow. Nato never thought about a nato on an explorer. They seem to complement each other well.

Agreed. I don't understand how some folks can put an $8k+ watch on a $15 strap.

the NATO strap does not replace the oyster
it is a summer or temporary replacement
