Just to be clear...I don't like the green nato on that watch in the picture I posted. In fact, I doubt I'll ever wear that DJ with anything other than the jubilee. Maybe leather.

I was/ am curious as to what others thought.

OK, I was being nice. Not a good look.

I think the only Rolex which looks good on a NATO is a Milsub. I tried my 5513 Maxi, and I ended up back with the Oyster because I thought it looked a bit desperate to be a Milsub.

I switch mine between the Jubilee and Oyster, nothing but...

And, of course, there is leather without NATO. Same dressed-down look but more traditional, hits the sweet spot.

Both your Oyster and your leather straps look exceptional. The Datejust is not a watch that needs to be pigeonholed to a Jubilee bracelet, it's okay to change it up on occasion, I think that's the epiphany of recent years.

Hollister · 18 May 2016, 09:34 AM

Datejust looks great on a nice croc strap.

henry333 · 18 May 2016, 09:35 AM

No please

I think I've tried all the possible combinations!

Mine tends to live on an Oyster, mainly because I prefer the more low key look but also because the Jubilee is a vintage one that's too short and bl**dy difficult to add links to.

Only bracelet works me thinks.

yes ,,, why not , maybe a grey or black nato would look the part

mfnj · 18 May 2016, 08:00 PM

Not! But go for it if it trips your trigger! I have seen worse!!

Carrera911 · 18 May 2016, 08:10 PM

I think you are absolutely killing it. Great pic!

DateJust 36 on Nato

Most of me says no, but my inner rebel loves it

On olive though... hell no.

1William · 18 May 2016, 08:26 PM

Not for me. I prefer the metal bracelet.

So in summary, my Datejust is not that popular on TRF, :(

I agree with you 100%, especially with the newer models. It's such a versatile aesthetic, and with a silver dial really goes with just about anything you'd throw it on, even with fluted bezel.

But then again, I actually don't like them on the jubilee, so…

Me too, especially as that is such a fine looking watch. A rich brown leather might suit it well. Nato isn't classy enough, it's not a 'military' watch.

OmegaJJH · 18 May 2016, 09:48 PM

I'm sorry but it's a no from me.

Jubilee is only way to go on this classic (IMO)

scotttampa · 18 May 2016, 09:55 PM

Metal only please.

Mfrankel2 · 18 May 2016, 10:43 PM

jubilee

ragingcao · 19 May 2016, 12:06 AM

Jubilee or Oyster. Nothin else

stil · 19 May 2016, 12:11 AM

I don't think I'm a fan of the oyster on a DJ either...maybe on the newer DJ with smooth bezel.

the leather works but the metal bracelet is where this watch pops

+1 on the countless replies...a ballistic nylon NATO watchstrap on anything but a sports/technical model tends to cheapen the overall appearance of a dress watch IMHO...why would you want to do that?

Jubilee for the flutter bezel or oyster for the dome bezel.

I always go for the OEM bracelet.

Sorry mate.
