Lovin' me some NATO....

I really didn't think I was going to like the look of a strap, but I think I'm slowly falling in love with the comfort and look of it...

Yes most of my watches have NATO straps as I love the look and nothing compares to the comfort. I have over 15 NATO straps just sitting at the house in case I want to change colors.

Same thing happened to me....Worst part, I had to get a 2nd sub to keep on a nato, so I Don't have to keep changing them up.

Nothing. The NATO nickname came from the British military form used to order the strap.

it is a "tactical" watch band...by that I mean...it does not "clatter" the way a metal Rolex or other wacth band does when moving..silently...in the dark..stealth mode....

try this...

put on your stainless rolex bracelet...shake wrist...hear that?

...your dead...thanks for playing...
