I thought this at first too because I was used to owning 5 digit subs. Now whenever I see the lugs on a 5 digit it looks cheap to me.

Nato looks fine, but I would definitely stick with the bracelet, preferably the Jubilee. It is what makes the GMT so desirable and so d^mn good looking.

I generally don’t like NATO straps anyway , but I especially don’t like them on modern Submariners and GMTs. GMTs need to be on a Jubilee or Oyster. Period.

I love to experiment with natos and rubber straps having spent a fortune in the past on them. I toyed with the 16710 a lot in the past with different strap combos.

However on the 126710BLRO - I have never ever taken the bracelet off. Feels so at home on the jubilee that I have never raised a spring bar once to its lugs lol.

Hard pass. Both jubilee and oyster bracelets are half of the look of the watch.

I tried this and it didn't feel at all secure due to the weight of the watch.

Agreed. Lugs just too wide on the ceramic models.

Terrible on nato in my opinion, just like all 6 digit sport models.

Unpopular opinion, but nothing looks good on a nato.
