I’ve got a Black Dial 16570 that I do not have the bracelet for and which I wear almost daily on a black rubber Everest strap and its quite simply my favourite watch, more so than either of my Subs (14060m & 114060).

I have recently bought another 16570, this time a Polar on a bracelet and I’d like to put this watch into my rotation. I’m not really a bracelet guy and are looking at alternatives. I’m reluctant to get another Everest as I don’t think black would suit a white dial and I’m not keen on the other available colours. I’m therefore thinking about NATO’s and maybe a leather option. Anyone have any suggestions and even better pictures. Thanks.

My black dial 16570 is my favourite watch, on a dark blue Everest. But I covet a Polar too as the proportions of the 16570 are what make it the one for me. I’d probably put it on a straightforward khaki green NATO but always on the lookout for decent bruised up leather ones too.
Good purchase. I’m jealous. But Good for you.

Black nato or maybe something to match the GMT hand?

Just picked this up yesterday. I’ve never put a NATO on a Rolex before but I have been looking for a well-worn 16570 on which to do so. I’m very happy with the result. The will be the first Rolex which I will actually wear like a sport watch. Had the gaskets replaced and sealed but NO polishing.

I’ve always liked that watch on the army green NATO.

I've never been a NATO fan because of the folded excess strap on the outside of the wrist. Recently started using Barton ballistic nylon straps on my Ranger and Explorer II. They come in a range of colors--solids and stripes.

Grey natos always look good on the Polar!
