I know, I know... Subs should be on a bracelet, and a diver on leather is questionable... but anyway, I like the look of this and it's very very comfortable! As I went on a five week vacation yesterday, comfort is now #1 and looks #2...

frostie · 30 June 2007, 09:42 PM

I am not used on seeing the sub with this thing but it is good. I like it. it makes it look more elegant and i am sure that it is more comfortable. When somebody is using the steel band it looks more like a tool watch. When using this thing it looks more elegant. the pics are good

Looks Good !!

Personally I have no issues with a Sub on a strap.

As far as leather and water - I'm sure if the Vikings had watches they would have been on leather straps.

What is the name of the strap that james bond used on his submariner? I saw some guys here posting photos with this strap. Where can i buy one?

Andad · 30 June 2007, 11:17 PM

Hey,

Why not put the bracelet in the box and wear out a couple of straps.

And it's less than 2/3thirds of the weight.

@ "Olyckan" + Eddie: Looks cool, guys!

GoldenBear · 30 June 2007, 11:26 PM

I put my Sub on a black Croc. strap to mix it up a little. It looks great, very elegant. Only problem is that I sometimes forget to take it off when I shower.

I like it!

It is called "Nato Strap".

They are availible on many web sites. I believe you would get many hits by googling it

baxta69 · 1 July 2007, 01:07 AM

= Nato Strap

Only one I could find off hand, but the James Bond Nato strap has grey stripes on it.

SPACE-DWELLER · 1 July 2007, 01:21 AM

Here are some more Natos:

The "G10" Nato strap = "James Bond" Nato strap

You'd wanna go for 20 MM lug width for Rolex.

Olyckan · 1 July 2007, 01:30 AM

Thanks for your answers guys! I like it more and more - think it will have to stay on for a few days!

If you're talking about my strap (and not James Bond/NATO) it's made by Jürgen - a german guy who's regularly advertising on TZ, Watchuseek and other forums. I originally bought for using on my Archimede Pilot.

That is a very fine look.

Bama · 1 July 2007, 01:39 AM

I don't think it is something I would do with my Sub at this point but I still think it looks really good. Nice pictures also.

frostie · 1 July 2007, 01:58 AM

Thanks for the info guys.

Flyjet601 · 1 July 2007, 01:59 AM

Very interesting, I wouldn't do that but it does not look bad at all. Nice strap...far better than that, um, whats it called

..oh yeah NATO

wandyprawira · 1 July 2007, 02:27 AM

Can we use this kind of strap with a non lug holes Sub?
