I know you can't see the 16600 the best, but this is one of my favorite pics of my Rolex on a NATO

Did the NATO fit the SDc ok, and did you manage to get it to fit around the lugs ok?

Cheers.

Is that a rubber nato on the SDc?

it's a 22mm rubber nato, so the sides are nudged inwards a little.... Had to position the strap first then re-apply the spring bars, but am happy with the result

because of the material, the "squeezed-in" effect is less obvious... i believe with more wrist time the rubber will "deform" perfectly to the watch

I like the rubber nato. I'm surprised you were able to get a 22mm on considering a 20mm standard nato is so tight on the SDc. But if it fits I like it. 22 must give it more side to side stability.

Does it leave a lot of tension on the spring bars? Are they bending at all? Where do you get one of these?

Thanks.
