I did order two other Maratac NATOs for my 14060, but haven’t used them yet. This NATO looks stout. If it’s one of yours, I may give this a shot too and cut the second layer off.
Yes that is one I can the Toxic N80. But it is only 1.2mm thick. Send me a dm and we can figure out what work work best.

YES. 250mm. Contrary to what you may believe, they are out there. One example:

Good find. And thank you for the information.

At 250 I wouldn't have any strap to tuck into the hardware though.

But I do see how this would attract someone with a smaller wrist for sure.

I NATO nearly every single day. My "work" watch is a 16570 - Polar Explorer II. I normally wear it on a NATO.

I use NATO straps with my Seiki SKX007K and love the look and options. I love NATOs!

Nato's are awesome.

These aren't my pictures, but I am awaiting my MN strap. How fantastic does this look? Currently waiting for mine to arrive!

Tricky one - certain NATOs seem to work with certain watches. Others can look a little gaudy and tend to detract from the watch. From a practical perspective though, they can no doubt be a lot safer in certain scenarios, particularly over or under water.

Do you NATO?

Never. Watch stays on the bracelet it arrived with.

Get over your egos, a BP sailcloth strap puts Rolex bracelets to shame. Furthermore, its only of recent times that Rolex bracelets have got to a stage where people say they're good...
Exactly, someone gets it. Rolex watches were available w/o bracelets for decades. Bracelets were an option. There seems to be an overemphasis on the bracelet over the last decade or two, which is an indication of them primarily becoming man-jewelry, but Rolex watches are perfectly suitable on nylon, rubber, leather, etc.

Yep, all the time on my Speedy but on my 114060 it looked pretty bad due to the lugs so no go there.
