i'm not a big fan of the 'leather' nato, but the pics do give some idea of how good a datejust looks on a leather strap.

He-he. I just went to a Millwall football (soccer) game in London last Friday, and learned their hooligan song:
(Mel: "Sailing" by Rod Stewart)
No one likes us
No one likes us
No one likes us
We don't care
etc...

That's how I feel about their blacklist, mate

I really like the military green on the Subs. What brand of NATO is that and where can I get one for my Sub? Have been thinking about it for a few weeks but there seems to be varying quality of NATO straps. Would I need different spring bars?

Those are most likely Maratac straps. They're the ones I like, same company that makes watches for the US Military. (the SAR, etc...)

Also, most of those are Zulu straps (I personally like those better than Nato).

You just like to stir the pot, don't you Dan!

Not a bad look at all. Of course, a DJ on a strap has been a good combo for a long time, so you're in pretty safe waters with this one. Even JJ's top has remained unblown this time!
