Dalip, you know that is a superb idea for your next watch. You know you really should take the plunge. Do it proper, get yourself a real minty vintage Rolex.

Sounds like a wonderful idea Dalip, I am sure everyone in here would agree. Once you try a vintage you begin to understand why we are so crazy about them. I look forward to the day my friend.

I am curious to know how you guys go about buying your NATOs and what influences the colors and hardware you use. For me I try to match colors with writing, dial and bezel colors and choose hardware with the same kind of thinking.

Post some of your favorite NATO combos and if you think its necessary explain why you chose it.

Have a great week guys, sorry for the stupid thread, I was bored this morning

whew David, awesome wardrobe for your vintages:)

The double Red Nato on my Red Sub is my favorite combo.

Looks cool Dan and great collection, think I'll have to get my sub some clothes too!!

They are pretty inexpensive, it's pretty easy to pick a number of them at the same time.

Been through a ton of different color variations, but have always settled back on the black nato first and then perhaps a vintage black rubber strap. The combos just work for me (ok that is a bit of an understatement).

Frogman4me · 22 July 2011, 02:03 AM

Wow, I thought I loved NATO straps. You have us all beat...lol

Thanks for sharing

The Laird · 25 July 2011, 07:06 PM

Hi,

My latest NATO on my Tudor Submariner 79090.

It's a Corvus movie style James Bond strap with the cloth keeper.

I have had a Bond NATO from Corvus in the past and the nylon material back then was not as thick and beefy as this one is. This is much more like a Rhino strap.

I like it and I hope you all do too?

Why I like them??? Because they just look so good and just go so well with the Submariner!

Till next time...

The Laird

Beige on black!=p matches the markers well=)

I love NAto straps, they make Diver watches more interesting=)

saves your original bracelet too, gives them a break from wear and tear.=)

As a brand new NATO convert, I was searching NATO and when I came upon this thread, I had to bring it back up to the top!

My very first NATO (Compliments of my friend Jocke!) on my new to me 5513, and I picked this one, because I felt that the color combination went perfectly with the patina'd lume!!

Lets continue this thread, and see what others are sporting now!
