Black Dial 226570 on Black NATO (Pic-heavy)
Hello all,
I decided to put a black NATO on my Explorer II black dial. I used an Artem NATO ($70, from Australia). I liked that that NATO had polished-steel keepers. Most I have found are brushed. It was tempting to use a NATO with some orange to make the orange hand pop, but I wanted the black to pop instead. The black, high-quality NATO almost dresses up the watch, I feel. I also feel a black NATO makes the watch a bit smaller compared to an Oyster bracelet... which was a welcome change on my 7-inch wrist. Enjoy! (Not sponsored, no affiliation with Artem. And my cat's name is "Drake".) —Danny

Hi Danny,
Looks excellent ! I like the simplicity/contrast of black and silver. Thank you for posting all the photos. |

I think it works well. Probably the last Rolex model that looks good on a nato.

That looks pretty spiffy!!! My thought is the black nato ties in nicely the black enamel in the bezel and the dial.

That does look fantastic with the thinner lugs……
but to not wear the magnificent brushed oyster bracelet……. Conflicted And yes, it down sizes nicely on your 7 inch wrist. ..Explorer & Spring Diver - I’m just here for the photos.. |
