I can’t do straps with Rolex. But if ever I would it would be your 14060. Looks sharp!

Thanks! That's one of the main reasons I bought it. I like how the five digit subs look great on many straps/NATOs.

Any non ceramic reference looks ok on a NATO imo.

NATO straps and 4 and 5 digit watches look great together. NATO straps also don't pull out arm hair like the bracelet. The bracelet also holds dirt and grime like a big dog. In my experience anyway.

I've used a leather and nylon Natos in the past. Lately been sticking with stock as it's easier than changing back and forth and I like stock better.

I don't have a Sub but rather a 16600 SD. I use numerous NATO straps and a Rubber B black band on mine. All look great!

Nothing beats the Bracelet with Glidelock, but sometimes I use mine on rubber.

Been using the bracelet since day 1. But once I get my 16610 back from service I've got my first nato strap waiting!

Yea I wouldn’t swap out the six digit sub bracelet. It’s perfect. The five digit sub bracelet is nice, however I feel it is the last of the Rolex tool watches.

The rubber straps look good. I don’t like the nato.
