OK
I have thought about it for a while and finally broke down and decided to give it a try.. I figure its easy to swich back (well I thought it was, these no hole cases are a pain! I need a tool meant for these bars) and I have the DSSD for when I want a metal band.
Anyway, here is a pic of my M SD on a Nato.
It is VERY comfortable! I can wear it while using a laptop without scratching up my clasp or laptop. I barely know the watch is on...
I will have to see how to band wears when it breaks in...
It makes me want to get a Sub ND and put that on a Black Nato!

Sorry for the crappy pic but its a camera phone and I am bad with a camera to start...

What? The NATO or the crappy picture?

WatchTimes · 4 November 2008, 04:30 AM

hahaha yeah I know JJ is not a fan of the nato.
I also have a YM bracelet I could put on the SD if I wanted.
JJ shouldn't know it till he tries it haha.

I think it takes away from the dress of the watch for sure BUT
it makes it more comfortable for my work... I have knicked and
gauged metal bands pretty bad in the past so I think this will
be fun.

If anyone ever sees an old Sub ND minus bracelet for a smokin
deal let me know... I want one!

hahaha yeah JJ I know its a crappy pic but the best I can manage
while trying to give off the image I am really doing work haha.

Hey tosser, you going soft in your old age?

Nice NATO/SD combo. Cut of the two steel bands and shorten the strap.

love the watch and the nato

It's nice to change things up a bit, though I still prefer the original bracelet!

I like it both. When you get tired of the Nato...switch it back. It's your watch and you can do with it as you please

argee1977 · 4 November 2008, 06:37 AM

The Nato strap only suits the non date sub, infact i'd only stick it on a 5513, the SD is too high in my opinion and the date models don't really work with it either.

everyone has their .02 cents

I agree. I think it sits too high with two strips of nylon underneath. The regular g10 trap is passable, but it's just more of a no-date thing.

I saw a pic of an Explorer II black face on a Bond NATO and it was incredible.

Romi · 5 November 2008, 09:12 AM

I feel the same way. I tried it on my SD. It is too high (thick) for the NATO band. I do like the look. It would look great on an ND sub.

WatchTimes · 5 November 2008, 09:17 AM

Hmm still wearing it with the Nato and it has never been more comfortable...

As soon as someone finds me a super cheap Rolex or Tudor Sub ND I will
snatch it up and compare....

I think a old ND Tudor Sub would be kinda cool
