Yup

Yup. I love it. The adjustable bracelet is still wonderful and comfy but sometimes a little splash of color is fun. I used a 22mm and it fits well. The lug width is 21mm and a 20 swims a bit.



I also have a red/black stripe Nato that looks great.

Looks good. How does the balance feel with such a weighty head?

Balance is surprisingly good. The NATO actually holds the watch very well. I found it as comfortable as the bracelet.

Mine spent the bulk of the time on NATO, the fav being an old 22mm one:





The important thing to remember is to expose the strap to the elements a bit (pool, salt water, sunlight etc) so it softens up a bit.
