Can't believe I haven't chimed in yet.
Being colorblind green is not my forte but I say why not? It's completely reversible, creates an additional new look, and a nice way to match.

I agree the nato strap suits the semi retro face design....but i think the green strap may detract/clash with the fabulous green crystal.I think it may look better/great with the plain black/crystal version.

But i applaud your experimentation.

A great look! I like the green on black look. Very military looking.

I like it. The green is probably best since it picks up the color in the crystal but the gray is cool too.

Where did you get the strap(s) and what size are they?

¡Hola! I was thinking of adding a NATO band to my Milgauss but I dont know what size/dimensions I would need to do this. I was thinking of using this band. I kind of has a James Bond look which I covet. please let me know if I should go bigger say 22mm b/c the one that I have included a link to is 20mm. Please let me know ASAP, b/c I just bought my Milgauss (Also, my first Rolex [Graduation present to myself]) and I done want to scratch up the SS band.

¡Gracias!

20mm is the size between the lugs on the Milgauss!

¡Hola! Btw thank you Sleddog for helping me out.
So as I wait for my recent NATO strap to come in the mail. I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations for some different straps or ect.that I could add on to my watch to make it a little bit more unique. I noticed these NATO straps while I was doing research for the current strap that I selected (Link included at the bottom of this post) but I feel €50.00=$72.00 is a lil steep for a Nylon band. So my real question is, is there a quintessential NATO watch brand that is the gold standard or did I just waste $16.00 on a band that is gonna tear apart and scratch my milgauss. If there is please could someone give me some tips as to color combinations. Keep in mind that I have a Milgauss GV.

¡Gracias!

Pretty fly, in my opinion. At least your thinking outside the box. Something you don't see every day with a Rolex owner.
