I’ve been trying to dress down my Bluesy and might have a solution. Instead of getting a Rubber B, I got some leather nato straps instead. Any thoughts?

I like the dark blue one bc the gold pops in a classy way. The dark brown one muted out the TT gold bc of the gold accents. The tan one is cool bc the SS accents matches the watch, and the TT gold is also muted somewhat from the tan band.

The dark brown looks nice...

Reinhard in SA · 18 January 2019, 03:52 PM

Would love a few wrist shots

tpool · 18 January 2019, 03:53 PM

IMO the tan is the best out of these. I would rate the dark brown last.

The look cool but regular cowhide stretches way to much for me. Enjoy

BigBallerBrand · 18 January 2019, 04:13 PM

Some quick wrist shots of the tan

Kamen · 18 January 2019, 04:21 PM

Sorry man I can't say I am a fan. Original TT bracelet is best imho.

peterpl · 18 January 2019, 05:10 PM

Leave it on the bracelet. Its how its meant to be.

A blue everest/rubber strap would look alot better than those straps imho.

jimcameron · 18 January 2019, 05:44 PM

Looks like PooPoo

Bel · 18 January 2019, 05:47 PM

Best on the bracelet.

Of all the nato photos I have had to endure this is by far and away the worst. I really don’t mean to offend, but it’s rather like marrying Margot Robbie and then taking her to the plastic surgeon to get a penis fitted on her

BigBallerBrand · 18 January 2019, 06:23 PM

Lol. I like it so I guess that’s all that matters. But good to know that everyone else hates it bc I’ll be only guy rocking these

Kudos on the attitude. That is the way it should be.

Wear what you want, how you want and where you want.

VintageVagabound · 18 January 2019, 06:28 PM

If you’re going NATO I like the tan one the best.

Rashid.bk · 18 January 2019, 07:36 PM

Umm no. Looks really bad to me, natos in particular don't do so well with six digit references for me, more so on a watch like this.
But you asked, so regardless do what you do.

LOL indeed! I like your attitude.

I concur that the dark blue works best.

I'm also in the "leave it on the bracelet" camp, but diversity is what makes life interesting, so enjoy your NATOs!

watchwatcher · 18 January 2019, 10:59 PM

I actually think the lighter strap works with the blue and gold better. Very nice.

Although I don't think I would ever put this on a NATO, the lighter tan leather is the best option. You do you!

ricardo-sf · 19 January 2019, 12:22 AM

doesn't quite work for me right off the bat ..

i saw a picture of a bluesy on a royal blue nylon nato with gold hardware which was a good look because it complimented the dial and bezel ..

Frakis · 19 January 2019, 12:29 AM

I prefer the look on the original TT bracelet.

herts9 · 19 January 2019, 01:33 AM

the classic on-bracelet look is how it should be, in my eyes

if you like it on a nato, or leather, or perlon....wear it with no apologies!

droptopman · 19 January 2019, 01:43 AM

All that matters is you like it. I tried a blue Everest on mine and while I thought it looked good it only lasted a couple days--missed the glide lock. So the Everest sits in the watch box with my other 15 straps....when I was into vintage I wore straps a lot. Now I just have a strap collection that never gets used.
Your watch enjoy it how you like. Of your choices I like the tan the best.

jltait · 19 January 2019, 02:22 AM

Those are really nice straps. Unfortunately I don’t think natos work with the maxi case, or tt in general.

Chadridv · 19 January 2019, 02:24 AM

I like it flat laid but not a fan on the wrist. Have played around with so many straps and most of them look great when laid flat.

1kw · 19 January 2019, 02:30 AM

I think you ruined the look of a iconic watch

Atone · 19 January 2019, 02:32 AM

i don't think it works in my humble opinion. maybe a proper leather strap?

leooooo · 19 January 2019, 04:10 AM

Dont know how commited to the look you are, but imo they're all pretty bad. Nothing is really gonna mute the look of a blusey either

Boaters · 19 January 2019, 04:58 AM

Looks great on the strap

asiparks · 19 January 2019, 11:42 PM

I'm a big fan of Nato's, I applaud anyone who makes their watch their own, but if I were to pick nits, I think the thick stitching looks a bit busy up alongside the keepers.
If you like them though, rock on !
