Hey guys, summer is almost around the corner and would like to get a Nato strap for my Polar Explorer II. Any suggestions which color to get? Thanks.

2th Dr · 15 June 2010, 11:13 AM

BLACK baby!!!

vtsnowplow · 15 June 2010, 11:14 AM

any color will go with the white, but orange would be fun!

dgr8dude · 15 June 2010, 11:17 AM

yeah, I've seen a Polar on black Nato and indeed nice, but never in orange (even in pics)...hmmm. wonder how it would look like.

dalip · 15 June 2010, 11:25 AM

Orange would be interesting.....
Black would be safe..

I have a skunk Bond RAF style strap and a Real Bond RAF type strap and the much maligned Corvus NATO. I like those myself. I will take photos tomorrow for you.

ParisDakarBmw · 15 June 2010, 01:51 PM

Black or gray

scl6118 · 15 June 2010, 02:09 PM

None! Don't do it!

mcjca · 15 June 2010, 02:15 PM

army green

Kanger · 15 June 2010, 02:31 PM

you can go with any color, but try to get a tinge of white in there since it is a polar dial after all...

Clogger · 15 June 2010, 02:45 PM

Desert sand colour would go pretty well I think.

xjeeunitx · 15 June 2010, 06:48 PM

black all the way!

Dark grey, Red or red and white stripe. I have a black and grey bond NATO which I tried on my white expII and it looked rubbish.

Out of curiosity I tried a dark brown 'Perlon' strap (off of my Speedy Pro) on mine yesterday in anticipation of a dark grey one arriving:

Regards,

Ash

Very nice. I also agree with the poster who mentioned desert sand. Black and grey are safe, but I think the summer calls for something a bit less 'stark.' Navy blue, army green, sand... the straps are inexpensive enough to pick up more than one, so try a few and see what you like best.

Pashmolean · 15 June 2010, 08:40 PM

I think Army green/ Olive drab will offer a nice contrast to the red 24hr hand. I might try that myself.

dgr8dude · 16 June 2010, 01:16 AM

Nice pics. I agree, since NATO straps aren't that expensive, might grab 2 or 3 of them...thanks guys.

I like the Maratac brand NATO straps...black, grey, & their black & grey "Bond" stripe.

esm · 16 June 2010, 01:20 AM

grey, matches the case!
