The Exp2 looks great on certain NATOs - rockmastermike presented nice examples here...

I like a very beat up vintage GMT on certain straps...

Milsub's obviously (because they originally didnt come on bracelets)...

But IMHO I don't think many other Rolexes besides the above look so great on NATO's...

Last two cents:
The best watch on a NATO is a moonwatch (Omega Speedmaster Pro)...

Later.

A Rolex on a NATO looks about as nice as a Rolls Royce on 15-inch steel wheels without hubcaps.

I like it alot.

People here saying "DJ cant nato" and 90% of the time I agree, but I think this one is an exception.

Would I put a newer DJ or a fluted DJ on nato? No. But for an older model with smooth or engine turned bezel I thinks its possible based on the dial and that dial goes great with that nato imo.

I threw in the Bremont for good measure!




Bremont at high altitude (land altitude, at any rate).

I thought I should just throw my old root beer into the mix. I should never have flipped it!

GMT, sorry not for me. Looks better on the original bracelet.

No way on a DJ. Natos are cool in theory. Whenever I put it on, I hate it immediately. That goes for most straps. Bracelet for me. I won’t buy a watch without it so I am very bias!

Do as you please as it's your watch. But it doesn't look right to me.
