To NATO or not to NATO?

[jmsrolls]

Many of you know my feelings about NATO straps - I have always avoided them like the plague. The risk of grit getting between the strap and the case back is not a risk I will willingly take. I have seen too many case backs damaged. My other problem putting a NATO on My 300 M is that the strap would block the view of the beautiful 8401 movement.

But I do like the look of the Bond NATO on the 300 M. I even talked with Jim and the ATL Boutique about the OEM NATO but in the end, went a different route. Here is the result:





The quality is quite good and I like the way it snugs up to the case between the lugs. And best of all, the price was about 1/10th of the OEM's.

I'm tempted to order one for the Sigma 7 FOIS.
