I love Nato's, but it doesn't fit the watch style, NATO's IMO are better for sportier rolexes

This is a border line sport watch for the 1950's (same model has a DEEPSEA marked dial)
The Rolex case for this watch also has flat sides like sport models ...

See details in this thread:

For sport models I'm a very big fan of the nato straps. For that watch I like the bracelet the most.

Nice watch btw.

Best! Glenn

I love fabric straps, but the shot with the bracelet is really the most eye-catching.

I'm with friedL41 on this,
The NATO is really unusual for this kind of watch and does make the watch so much more attractive.
Basically, I love the grey straps/ nato on stainless steel
I've got the same nato on my Speedmaster.

Thanks JulienLeBreton/FriedL41 you restored my confidence in the Nato with this watch as it give it a special/unusual character!

I actually like the Nato on this watch and I got a lot of compliments about it from people in person; however, it was not popular on this thread

I still will alternate with Bracelet and Leather depending on the occasion I wear the watch ...
