Black Dial 226570 on Black NATO (Pic-heavy)

[askdanny]

Hello all,

I decided to put a black NATO on my Explorer II black dial. I used an Artem NATO ($70, from Australia). I liked that that NATO had polished-steel keepers. Most I have found are brushed. It was tempting to use a NATO with some orange to make the orange hand pop, but I wanted the black to pop instead.

The black, high-quality NATO almost dresses up the watch, I feel.

I also feel a black NATO makes the watch a bit smaller compared to an Oyster bracelet... which was a welcome change on my 7-inch wrist.

Enjoy!
