Yeah I have tried a standard NATO on an old Seiko. My problem with it is the loop on the 12 o'clock side. I just can't get past that.

I used to have a Tudor Black Bay ETA and that came with the Tudor OEM Nato which I loved. Different system than the standard NATO straps. Uses loops in the fabric to run the spring bars through. Then you use a standard tang buckle. This eliminates "the fold" that I mentioned above. Very clean look.





Another thing you might want to try is getting a rubber strap for that Speedy. I bet it would look great with black. Here's my GMT on an Everest.
