Ditto. The nato is fine but it is just so at home on the jubilee I don't think I'd want to take it off

Sorry, IMHO, the BLRO is meant for the Jubilee bracelet

Not a good look.

The six digit cases are not suited to straps.

Looks like the case ‘overpowers’ the strap. As others said, 4 & 5 digits yes.

Yup.

Too much bling with the ceramic bezel and dial for the nato to work without trying hard. Blue rubber b or something, maybe. Dressing down any sport tool 6d is hard except for the OP or Exp.

Natos work when they look like it was designed with the watch.

The THC is in the same boat. The NATO doesn’t work with it.

A $10,000 watch on a $10 Nato. Does it work?

Weak argument. You see $30,000 - $50,000 vintage rolexes on NATOs all day long lol.

Some luxury brands sell their watches on fabric NATOs

And there are some really high quality NATO straps out there.

If a Rolex has to go on a nato I think that Rolex must be the BLRO and or the Sub.
