I'm wanting to order a black/gray strap as seen in the James Bond movie Goldfinger. They come in 18, 20, or 22mm sizes. Which size would best fit my GMT 16750?

20 mm. Just do a measure between the lugs.

All men's Rollies are 20 mm, except the smaller models like the Air-King and Date which are 19 mm. So you should order the 20 mm width.

Wow - you guys are quick!

I'll go ahead and place the order.

They look good! They're JJ favorite!

Now that's what I call the cold-blooded murder of a fine watch!!

colemanitis · 16 June 2006, 05:03 AM

You don't like that, JJ?

I think it looks pretty good. I'm wanting something more casual/rugged for all the summer festivities (swimming pool, lake, cookouts, etc..). I just placed my order. I'll be sure to post some high-res pics for JJ to drool over when it arrives!

Jeff, I have one for my Sub and I love it!. But, be careful, the pins aren't designed to take alot of stress. While bending my hand back, forcefully, one day one of my pins popped. Luckily the the other pin stayed in place, otherwise, it would have been bye-bye Sub.

That's good to know, thanks for sharing!

Good point C.J., one of the reasons the 5517 had soldered spring bars.

Great move. A Rolex on a nato.

JJ hates it, but at least your GMT isn't a fake.

OUCH!!!

I like the look of the nato strap on the sub. I bought one a few months back but have not been able to put it on. I have a newer sub with no holes in the lugs and I can't remove the bracelet, I'm scared I'll scratch it so I just gave up.

No, Jeff, not my cuppa at all. Basically, I'm not much of a strap lover, but that NATO strap looks cheap, it's just nylon and completely desicrates a beautiful watch.

I like good quality straps on sleek, dressy watches. On sports watches, I think bracelets look best. Of course, this is just my opinion...but we all have ours, don't we?
