i am just about to buy the Rolex 116610LN Submariner, and i am a little tempted to fit a nato strap on it in the near future.
I have seen a lot of photos of the GMT Master 2 with nato straps mounted, and it looks awesome.
But yesterday i discovered that the GMT Master 2's case back is different from the Submariners, resulting in the watch to sit lower(closer to the wrist) then the submariner.

So now my question is, does the submariner stick out very far, when mounting a nato strap?

If someone could take a picture from the side, with they submariner 116610 LV/LN on their wrist, it would be fantastic. Maybe also a picture of a GMT Master 2 from the side, for comparison.

and happy new year to all of you

I don't have a side to side comparison but they won't sit that much higher than they already sit when on a bracelet. A Nato strap just isn't that thick.

i prefer the bracelet actually, much more dressy than nato

As mentioned above, it does not add much height at all. This is my old SubC on a Nato. Doesn't show a side shot but I still love the pic anyway...

it looks fantastic from the top! Just so curious about how it looks from the side.

Thanks a lot! Just what i was looking for!
on the last photo, is the watch even touching the arm?

The watch can't touch the arm with one or two thicknesses of strap underneath it.
