Here are some pics so you can see what it looks like with the strap. Let me know your thoughts.

I had a similar problem allthough I do like the jubilee bracelet and my solution was to buy another watch with an oyster bracelet so I can switch them back and forth. While I think I made a good decision my wife is still not convinced.

contact this guy or this guy or this guy and tell them what you are looking for. if they can't hook you up, no one can.

if you get it, definitely post pix, please. would be interesting to see.

Thanks for the info. Great resources! I love the straps that Rob Montana sells. Exactly what I am looking for.

Seems you have no choice but to sell it to me!!!

It's comfortable but I think it makes the watch look like it belongs to my Grandfather. The Oyster bracelet IMHO has always looked more current and solid. I am open to do a trade for an Oyster if you or someone you know is interested. If so PM me.

I love the NATO! But I can not believe you do not like the jubilee bracelet! Is there a lot of stretch, uncomfortable, etc? Because I would love a root beer on a jubilee. Either way it is a great piece with nice patina!

It's comfortable but not as much as an Oyster bracelet. I also think it makes the watch look like it belongs to my Grandfather and quite outdated instead of the 'cool vintage' look that I like. I know many are already thinking 'what's wrong with this guy' but the jubilee is no longer for me.

You are the one to blame Anders.

After looking at the pics of your Rootbeer on that Oyster bracelet I just started disliking my jubilee more and more.

Did you ever sell yours?

STEELINOX · 14 December 2011, 01:40 AM

I like that strap and look !

Here is an option for you. I just got it today and I like the look and feel of it. My first nato strap.
