Icon20 Blue Sub 16613 with a Nato...Imminent BAN...>>>>>>>

I do not remember seeing this in the forum..so here it goes...
Of course it looks way better with the bracelet.. but it is not looking bad at all in a blue Nato either... Classic with a Hardcore Twist...
I do not want to be banned so if this offends too many people please remove...

I'm not a lover of TT so I actually really like that look! A little gold without being too much.

If you could get gold tone keepers/buckle on the NATO that would be über-cool!

Good drills!

That is the most hideous thing I have ever seen...I think you should be prebanned and all your family banned just in case they ever think of joining this forum!

Only if you use cold milk. Hot milk creates steam, which in turn may harm the delicate movement and leave a damaging residue under the bezel.

I think it actually looks good on that strap, but it's sad to know there is a beautiful TT Oyster bracelet sitting all alone in a drawer somewhere without a head...

Looks great! Besides, who gives a hoot in hell what others think? Now, if you could find the same blue nato w/ gold hardware, even better.

Actually, I rather like it! If you were to ask me "What would you think of a 16613 on a Nato strap?" I'd say forget it. But, that's the perfect shade of blue to make it work as well as it ever could.

Nicely done...and a nice change of pace from all the other 16613's out there! :-)

a blue 16613 could be laying dung with an elastic band for bracelet and still look good.

i like the nato look, and the blue alligator that was around a few days ago. nice to see them outwith the oyster band. shows what a beautiful watch it really is when you strip things away.

As long as it's not on those freaky bright color Natos I think you're safe.
