Icon19 Tudor Nato on Submariner?

Has anyone tried fitting a Tudor Nato on a Sub? I really like the camo nato straps that Tudor make but can't decide if the pair will look good together.

Please post pictures if you have any.

The Tudor straps are at 22mm, they won't fit properly.

Sorry I own the Heritage Ranger and when someone mentions Tudor Camo NATO I think 22mm by default. My bad.

The Tudor NATOs are pretty sweet. I'm not sure if you can buy them direct, but I remembered see this Hodinkee video on their production

IMHO, Maratac, best NATO straps out there! Great bang for the buck

Tudor Nato on Submariner?

The Tudor NATOs are nice and can be purchased from an AD new as long as you have the corresponding watch. Otherwise, sometimes you can find them for sale on the classifieds sub forum used.

Alternatively, the Crown & Buckle Chevron adjustable length strap is just as well made and significantly cheaper than the Tudor Nato.

The Tudor fabric straps are very comfortable and I suspect the 20mm camo one would look great on a Sub.

They are also expensive if purchased separately. I ordered one awhile back for one of my modern Tudors and the strap and buckle had to be ordered individually, and they took forever and a day to arrive.

I’m not sure whether the juice is worth the squeeze, when there are numerous quality natos available on the market. I thought it was a pain in the neck when I ordered it, anyways, but YMMV.

I’m rocking a Tudor Sub on a BluShark nato today and I consider their products to be a good value.
