Birth of a "Nylon Nation"
We are inviting one and all to join the "Nylon Nation" social group. As our mission statement reads: "Dedicated to the perpetuation of the utilitarian nylon strap in all it's forms."
To apply for citizenship you must: - read and agree with our "Bill of Rights" - own a watch - own a nylon strap - submit pics of proof. Nylon Nation Bill Of Rights -We, the undersigned, have declared nylon appropriate and we will embrace the strap. Although in many cases we might prefer a bracelet we fully accept nylon as a practical alternative. -We extend equal rights to all nylon straps be they 2 ring, 4 ring, zulu, rhino, or nato. -We will embrace variety. It will be our duty to involve as many colors and combinations to enhance diversity. -We will respect originality whenever possible but also establish the right of vintage and/ or modern watches to the use of nylon to achieve life, liberty, pursuit of wrist time. dP

I used to have a huge collection of zulu's and g10 straps (nato's) but now I just have one black zulu. It's a nice change every once in a while, but I think it would look better with the black insert GMTII.

Either way it looks great, Trevor! It does make for a nice change and you can always revert back to original.

Thank you Jim! Glad to be among the more en"lightened" ones.
All black bezel is in hand and will be placed into the timepiece soon so this combo will be better. However I can't get enough of the new Jubilee yet!
