NATO strap on an Explorer I?

First of all, thanks a lot for welcoming me to TRF!
Hope each of you are enjoying the weekend!

Just have 2 questions to ask -
1. Do you think a NATO strap will look good on an Explorer I?
2. Any recommended sites where I can buy?

Thanks guys!

The Explorer I works on most straps.

This one's by Hary, photo credits to him.


I've tried it on a Bund, and a Carbon strap so far. Maybe I'll do NATO next!




Also, I would suggest buying one off of the forum.
Edit: Never mind, I thought you were talking about the watch.

I had my MkII Vantage on black and grey NATO a few weeks ago. Didn't like it much - I prefer the bracelet much more.
