What are you thoughts of a NATO Strap on a stainless Daytona?

Huge mistake.


Why are so many obsesses with putting a nylon strap on a luxury watch?

Well, you can skip the tie altogether methinks...



And as for a Daytona, I've seen them on rubber straps and fabric straps at the track. Also, a couple of folks here did an Oysterflex IIRC.

A NATO or maybe a Zulu should be good insurance against a springbar failure at a poor moment.

I really like one on my Speedmaster....I don't think one would look bad on a Daytona but I prefer it on a bracelet. I saw a bluesy/nato combo this morning on the Today's show and this guy owned it.

As I child growing up in Brooklyn, I always wore dickies when it started to get cool. I'm sure many may not know what those are...what memories.

I've seen lots of things in this world mate. Doesn't mean I have to like them.

And the fact that someone here abused an Oysterflex bracelet...means buggerall to me. 🤣

Ha, that looks really good !
It wasn't that long ago people were getting their knickers twisted at the thought of putting a rubber strap on a luxury watch...

OP, put whatever the hell you want on your watch. Just remember that all Nato's are not equal, regardless of cost. Timefactors and ToxicNato make high quality straps with very nice hardware at an appropriate price.
