Yay or nay?
Hi fellows,

Just got my strap tool in the mail today so I thought why not try out a different look.

What say you, yay or nay?

my opinion is that, unless one is military or former military, a regular nato is better.

Hmm, that's curious. I thought nato in itself is already military in origin and nature, so why does it matter whether it's Camo or not?

i suppose for me it's the camo pattern that takes it to another level. like seeing teenagers wearing camo pants or shirts purely for style. just a pet peeve of mine.

other than that, love your explorer.

I hear you man, camo pants is just too much...even my son wouldn't be caught dead in them.

Problem is I think the Camo look just works on these tool watches.

Haha, guess what...my son just got back from school and he says "Nay" big time! His comment is " leave the Ranger on nato and put the Explorer back on bracelet and be done with it!"

Well who am I to argue with that. So the Explorer is back on bracelet.
