Icon20 Red sub on a Bond Nato!!
While I'm saving for my next piece I figured I would have some cheap fun and purchase some new Natos.
Just in time for spring!
Btw...the Red White and Blue one was free. I will probably only wear that one on the 4th of july.


Feel free to show your natos off as well Nylon Nation!

Yep, nato looks great on vintage. I never wear my 14060 on a nato as the shorter lugs cause wear on the case edges. The 5513's longer lugs work much better.

I love NATO straps, and have a bunch. Not so keen on the striped ones, for me though. Somehow, they look a bit busy, but I can see the appeal.
I have a couple:

I'm usually not keen on them either but I figured I'd give them a shot. I really like how the red stripes bring out the Red line in my dial.
