Jeez, do you go into bars and tell people that they are drinking the wrong beers and wearing the wrong sneakers too?

I do not but I am getting bored of seeing these straps day in day out its so reparative ... I know they are a very cheap mod for a Rolex...but boy they look it too. If you need this for a practical reason I get it. If for cosmetic reasons I don't and that is why I don't want to see any more

I really am not trying to start a fight. So try this:

If you see a thread titled "NATO", just skip it. Just like I do if a title mentions "DD Roman Numerals" or "What do you think about diamonds on a Rolex?"

This whole site is about the art of the "humble brag". We all love our gear. If you don't like something, move on. I promise I won't make negative comments on your threads.

That strap would look so amazing on a red sub

That's the first thing I thought, too!

kryten2001 · 1 August 2013, 09:12 PM

Great stuff. I love them as well and have quite a few for my sub.

Ignore the naysayers. Do what you like.

I put mine on a NATO right out of the box brand new. The original band still has its stickers on it.

From your own thread questioning NATOs...I'll quite someone:

'Expensive' has nothing to do with it.. it like saying a $300-400 croc strap looks cheap on a gold daytona or daydate, etc.

I never understood the whole "they look cheap argument."

If your wearing a watch only because it "looks expensive," then well...I think that may be your first problem.

floater156 · 2 August 2013, 12:02 AM

I enjoyed my nato for about 2 weeks before I became bored of it. I'll probably never go the nato route again.

Good advice...I will. (Constructive is subjective. If I can help anyone else from not making the mistake of removing a beautiful bracelet and replacing with a (imo) cheap looking 'kiddies' strap thens thats very constructive. Secondly - When posting here are you suggesting that the only contribution you would allow is one that agrees with your point of view? Thats a bit vain glorious isn't it? loads of threads ask 'what do you Guys think of my....' You suggesting we all just say we like it and not be honest? That would be boring. I'm outta here as you constructively suggested so unfortunately will not see your response...bye)

Ps...my remarks we limited to my opinion of Nato's...not personal and patronizing like your comments

Respectfully I don't agree ...so we just become sycophantic?...that would be dull I think? If I post then Im genuinely looking for feed back negative and positive. If seriously posters only want to have their opinion endorsed lets create a 'sycophantic section'
Thanks for you post genuinely because it brings up a good point well and not rudely like some around here

"kiddies"

eric23 · 2 August 2013, 02:02 AM

Very Nice!

Aceldama · 2 August 2013, 02:19 AM

Honestly: I love Subs but an not a big fan of the "correct" Oyster bracelet. It's a pain to type on a laptop with it on.

I've had it on a Zulu and Nato's since I bought it used.

nickng · 2 August 2013, 02:20 AM

Nicely matched Eddie

Your "advice" is simply based on well...nothing, other than your opinion.

...and your opinion being; NATOs are cheap looking "kiddies" straps.

How is that constructive advice, especially considering your opinion is not even based on personal experience?

I did not say it was constructive....you said it wasn't and I responded...you are not even following your own posts?

Its my opinion

... Experience is...Ive looked at hundreds and my opinion is its the fastest and quickest way to make a Rolex look crap. Its my opinion...why don't you go and start the sycophantic section I mention above if all you want to read is 'I totally agree man awesome strap" threads. You'll be on your own I suggest.

Thats it...

Aceldama · 3 August 2013, 02:26 PM

Yawn.

Got two more natos coming from broadarrow. Black and grey and all black.

Hairdude1 · 3 August 2013, 02:28 PM

I like it

eeh100773 · 4 August 2013, 12:38 AM

I never realized the NATO was such a divisive topic amongst TRF'ers. I expect the forum to be used as a vehicle for people to express their opinions, no matter what their stance. I like the NATI both aesthetically, as a change of pace and for practical reasons. Like I said, more are on the way. Thanks!!

It's only divisive to those not mature enough to live and let live.
