BLNR on NATO, Zulu or stap

If you have the BLNR on any of these could you please show it here as I am looking for options.

Thanks

Rob

Have fun trying!

Just my opinion, but I think anything other than the bracelet, cheapens the look of the watch.

That wasn't the OP's question. Familiar with the saying?

I've had a few aftermarket straps, and it's a cool novelty at first to change the look up, but in the end I always switch back to the bracelet. It's nice to have options though. BLNR looks great on NATO though, may pick one up.

+ 1,000,000 Brother.

Especially for the BLNR.

NATOS for Mil Subs or pre-Ceramics only.

I realize this wasn't the OPs original question, but oh well. Offering up a suggestion to a new GMTIIC owner he is free to ignore.

Congrats on the acquisition in any event!

Opinion not required on the thread. A picture of a BLNR on a NATO, Zulu, brushed bracelet or Jubilee is.

Opinions vary.

That said, I wear my pre-ceramic sub daily, but I am going to order 4-6 NATO bands to change it up from season to season.

I know it will always look it's best with the OEM bracelet, I get that. But variety adds spice.

YMMV.
