Cool black band for those with black subs or GMTs

Just wanted to throw this out to anyone whos interested in a backup band or wanted a band they can beat on.

Found this on ebay, I dont know why but I think it looks very sharp with the black sub in the pics.... at least better than the NATO bands.

For the price you cant go wrong

Hey JJ,

Wouldn't a TT Blue Sub look great with a Blue Nato strap?

I dunno... it just doesn't look right to me. You'd think I'd be all for alternatives, but rubber? One of my Seiko's came with a rubber strap.



I'll stick to the ss band rather than wear that thing, thank you... however since we're on the topic... lookit how niiiice the green is when it's surrounded by black.

Well, I am going to have to agree with my buddies Ginzo and Quinson: to the cheap rubber oyster bracelet copy!

Great pic, Cole! And, I have to admit that having being raised a "Bond, James Bond" enthusiast, I do like the Nato Bands, BUT, ONLY on an SS Rollie, AND, NOT at all on an exquisite TT, or, gold Rollie (just my humble opinion).

No problem, any chance I have to show it off... I forgot you're going to have it on a soft strap right away. Good for you!

Also, Jeff... that GMT Master is lovely with the bond nato. I haven't put the bond on either of my GMTs yet. Although Bond wore a GMT in at least one of the 007 films.
