Nato for TT Submariner 16613?

Tried this one out:


But the blue on this nato is not good enough. Looking for something more electric and less navy. Any suggestions?

Not sure about the NATO on a TT Sub..
If you are determined not to have the Oyster bracelet,, maybe you can try Alligator or some exotic watch strap..

NATO just doesn't do it for me.
Anyway, it comes down to what you enjoy.
Maybe a different color scheme in NATO might work..

Good luck in your search.
Post some pics when you find it.

A grey Nato might do the trick but I am afraid that combo is just too much colour.

I love woven nylon straps, Zulu & NATO....but only on stainless steel watches.

Perhaps Navy or Black NATO

This is a really nice watch. I think that either navy or black NATO may do the trick for some time. May I add, however, that I second the suggestion to put the SS back. Best regards.

Leave it on but learn the words to "YMCA" if that route is chosen

Not a huge fan of gold or TT watches but IMHO that nato does nothing for the TT sub put the oyster back on where it belongs.

Interesting combo but i think the TT bracelet is the only way to go for me, but if you enjoy wearing it on the nato then go for it

Nato on TT Sub

I would suggest put the beautiful Oyster bracelet back...
Nato straps won't match Gold bezels...

I like the watch and the NATO, but it's going to be difficult to match blues. If you can find a closer blue, you might try the versions with only a thin stripe down the middle.
