Rolex submariners with nato straps pics wanted
Hi everyone, i have pretty much decided that my next watch will be a no date sub ( they seem pretty hard to find but have found a couple) and i will probably put a NATO strap on it and try it out. It looks good and i would love to see some "real" pics. Thanks again everyone

Ok I remember looking for this same answer when I was trying to decide if I wanted to get a NATO so I will post up all the shots of Submariners with NATO that I have saved to my computer while searching these forums
First up is my Sub ND COSC with James Bond NATO Here are more shots from these boards *Disclaimer: These are NOT my shots!* But I still love em! That should satisfy you for now Sorry JJ, but some of us really like the NATO!

Awesome shots!!!
Quick question:
Does the 14060M take a 20mm Nato? Thank you! |

The nato straps would be very fine if one could just omit all the folds and moustraps they feature..Why not just a strap of the proper length with a nylon matching keeper or two? Does such a strap exist?

Ok I know from reading some earlier posts that JJ will freak , But I love the way these straps look on the Sub ... I have seen nato , bond and tropic straps and they really add some vintage style to a great watch .... thanks for sharing these pics ....

How long does it take to buckle and secure one of these nato straps?
Just wondering... :) |

Credit where credit is due....
You're correct, they're not your shots; these last two are mine.
"Disclaimer" notwithstanding, I'd still appreciate it if you'd credit the original source for the images you Post: The last two are from my personal website. |

very cool
I like NATO, because SUB ND does not have SEL, I hate this I have ordered from Gnomon website. |

Great choice Sub ND, but I have got to disagree with the NATO strap, this is just my opinion, £2500 watch, £10 strap, to me the saying "Top hat and tails" should be replaced with "Top hat and jeans"
Again it is just my opinion, and should not detract from your enjoyment of a stunning watch, congratulations on your excellent choice, wear it in the very best of health.
