SkyD on thick nato. Look sporty and toned down.

P.S: Hopefully Rubber B come out with new straps for these 22mm lug SkyD soon.

rootbeer7 · 7 January 2018, 08:04 PM

I love that watch and I love NATO straps but that just doesn't work! Perhaps a lighter colour? Maybe grey to tone with 24hr wheel? I hope I haven't insulted you.

rootbeer7 · 7 January 2018, 08:05 PM

Just noted it's a trick of the light and the dial is all white!!!!

G'ed · 7 January 2018, 08:10 PM

No offence taken, mate. The other thread on gym shorts remind to try this out.

I tried it with stripped black/grey NATO, black Perlon and dark brown Perlon and this black look the best.

And yes, it’s white dial but in actual lighting, it’s a bit of pearlescent white.

I agree with this...the nato doesn't work well with this Skydweller. Is makes it look cheaper than it really is. May be a brown leather calf strap would look much better.

If you're asking if this looks good as a more casual look for your Sky-D, no comment.

If you're asking if this can be worn to the gym, I think so. I used to come straight from work and work out, so was wearing a TT DJ. I did this for 25 years. Worked out, steamed, whirlpooled and showered. No one said anything and the watch was fine. The 42mm Sky-D is bigger and blingier than my 36mm DJ (to me), but do what you want. There are so few people who will notice or think twice, I think it's mainly in the heads of us TRFers. So if you are comfortable wearing it in that environment, have at it.

dysondiver · 7 January 2018, 11:29 PM

im just glad the picture had the watch in it ,,, not the shorts ,,,
i like the look , very low profile.

brandrea · 7 January 2018, 11:31 PM

Sorry but for me

For me that reference needs to be on the oyster bracelet.

As long as you’re happy that’s all that matters though

G.D.BeanCounter · 7 January 2018, 11:32 PM

Overall, not really a fan of the look, but maybe try it on a lighter strap as previously suggested. Tan or beige, maybe.

nick c · 7 January 2018, 11:41 PM

Doesn’t look right.

superdog · 7 January 2018, 11:45 PM

I prefer it that way.

ap1 · 7 January 2018, 11:50 PM

I mean sure but the soft bezel may get a ding or 2

rmlovett1 · 7 January 2018, 11:55 PM

To each their own....but I don’t like a nato on the Skydweller, nor would I wear a Rolex to the gym.

Rocco21 · 7 January 2018, 11:59 PM

On original two tone band yes.

Toony · 8 January 2018, 12:05 AM

I like it. I don’t know why but I do.

Spoonage · 8 January 2018, 12:11 AM

I think you can wear it where you want on whichever type of strap / bracelet... But only after you take the case stickers off...

dr35mm · 8 January 2018, 12:12 AM

This is the issue I have with natos, they look great on the table but not on the wirst.

Your watch, wear it as you wish, but you ask !

That just doesn’t work together.

Protective stickers ................ really ?

I agree with your thoughts here.....that will look outstanding on a rubber B or Oysterflex. Not a fan of it on the Nato strap. Sweet Sky-D though!

Reddy_Kilowatt · 8 January 2018, 12:22 AM

I wouldn't. Neither the NATO strap nor the gym shorts work w/ the watch. But that's just my opinion.

toomann · 8 January 2018, 12:26 AM

Wow. Fashion experts are everywhere. I say do what you want and don't worry about what others think. Be your own person.

Did the OP ask for opinions? Seems like he did.

The Argonaut · 8 January 2018, 12:33 AM

My two pennies worth: (1) I wouldn’t wear a high end/high cost watch to the gym. Get yourself a good Casio g shock or pathfinder for that; and (2) I think the watch looks very interesting with the NATO. It’s an unusual look, and I have to say that I rather like it. I’d consider a different colour. What with all the talk in this forum about security, dressing the watch down this way is good if you’re concerned about security. It looks very un-Rolex like.

bobernet · 8 January 2018, 12:45 AM

I’d wear it to the gym on its original bracelet. Dressy watch heads on NATO seems like a watchuseek forum anomaly. I’ve never seen it in real life, and I’ve never seen a wrist shot pic of it I thought looked good.

You have a great watch!

As the above,,,,,
strap lets the beautiful piece down,,,,,,

vincenzowl · 8 January 2018, 12:52 AM

I would not do that. Fluted bezel on fabric just looks strange.. I think there would more gym appropriate watches around.

Barrier25 · 8 January 2018, 01:46 AM

I dig it. Would also look good on a nato with gold hardware.

TitanCi · 8 January 2018, 01:56 AM

Nice watch; do as you wish with your watch and wear as you please obviously.

But if I had that SkyD, I wouldn't put it on a NATO because it doesn't look right to me, or if going to the gym I'd take it off anyway; are you putting it on a NATO to tone it down so you can wear it more casually? Or really to wear at the gym?
