12 series sub on a nato

Thinking about snagging up some natos for my 124060 for the summer. Curious if anyone else has done the combo and can share some pics. Don’t get me wrong I am a massive fan of the oyster and it doesn’t get any better IMO. Just wanna switch it up every once in a while

Not a NATO, and I debated it, but I added the white RubberB to mine and absolutely love it.

Pretty low investment to try it out -

I considered getting one for my 126610lv, but something just doesn't look right to me (maybe would work better with black). Totally a personal opinion, but its harder to dress down the ceramic with a nato. Fits way better with the older aluminum five digit versions. Much love to both, but I stick with oyster for mine.

Not the Submariner, but I did try to fit a NATO onto my 126710 BLRO. The proximity of the spring bars to the case required the thinnest NATO (1mm) and even that was a pain to thread between the case and the spring bars. Only to find out that I wouldn’t like the look.

I’ve tried a NATO several times on my 124060. It doesn’t look good to me, the bracelet always goes back on in one day. The Rubber B looks better for sure, but not as good as the bracelet.

I really like the way the white RubberB looks. Was thinking about getting one for myself.

This is how I feel after just getting a Rubber B last week. Forcing myself to keep it on and not see it as a waste of money. It is really nice, just not as nice as the bracelet.

I had a few NATOs for my Seamaster 300m but sold them all, hate 'em.

Wear what you enjoy. They look like a roadside repair, IMO. (Senior citizens tend to be blunt).

I generally don’t like any Rolex on a NATO, leather strap or even an Oysterflex. I love their bracelets.

When it comes to my Speedmaster, it’s quite the opposite. I’ll only wear it on a leather strap, or some sort of other strap. I don’t like the bracelet at all.

Bergeon 2260 takes cares of brushed bracelet,no need to try and keep the bracelet pristine with rubbers and nylons .

Bracelet is the only option on a Sub.
