Love my stubby 39mm Explorer. Such pure Rolex.

Also always loved my watches on a nato but felt they needed to really look the part.

What do you think?

Finslayer83 · 20 March 2019, 06:43 AM

A grey or tan toxic would look better IMO.

Neat clasp.

Hampshirescott · 20 March 2019, 06:44 AM

I tried my grey which looked awesome on my sea dweller. Just not quite right on an explorer. I have a desert coloured sand one again not just perfect.

I tried few NATO’s yesterday. Now I’m sure, that I’m not NATO strap guy

Love a nato.

Looks great!

toneafficianado · 20 March 2019, 07:36 AM

Love that nato with the Rolex clasp!
Where can I get one?

Hampshirescott · 20 March 2019, 08:37 AM

You can buy the buckles on eBay and then I replaced it on a bond nato. Not expensive but just adds a touch of class. Did the same with a vintage leather strap for my explorer also.

HONDABBQ · 20 March 2019, 09:40 AM

Horrible.

Rags · 20 March 2019, 09:41 AM

Not a fan of nato's at all.. Sorry !!

jimcarver · 20 March 2019, 10:05 AM

Not a fan at all if I am honest.

inadeje · 20 March 2019, 10:09 AM

I bought a few of those off etsy and grabbed the buckles to refit to better quality natos. I personally think that the bond is better suited to the sub. Typecast you could say.

How to make a big watch ginormous. No thanks.

toneafficianado · 20 March 2019, 11:38 AM

Thanks for info. I’ll get one or two.

That grey Bond NATO looks really good on a lot of watches, and I think it looks great on your Explorer.

I am one of those who like to switch it up with. NATOs from time to time, particularly on my 16570 Explorer II Seiko Urchin and my Speedmaster Pro. At the end of the day I tend to prefer the bracelet, but it’s fun to switch.

I think the sub looks cool on the bond. Here’s my 5513.

Its a blushark Nato Bond. I’ve bought many Natos but, these are easily the best. Watch out though, they have two quality grades (price), so get the most expensive

jps3b · 3 April 2019, 01:10 PM

Looks great! For those that dislike the look and feel of the NATO, to each their own. Here are mine

I put one on for Dad. I was really surprised when he told me that he liked the look.

The wife’s

This has still got to be my favorite one

I kinda agree, but those are too colorful. I find that the Bond and a simple grey Nato work best on the WD. Maybe give them a try?
