A better way to wear a NATO

[andy tims]

I don't like to see the strap tuck or have the extra bulk of the completely unnecessary 2nd layer of fabric under the watch, so I just trim that off & fit the strap so the buckle & strap fold is under my wrist as below.



Looks much better & is more comfortable IMHO

I agree totally.

I have seen some "NATO" straps advertised as RAF style that don't have the extra section.

I tend to use Perlon straps that are a similar concept but woven.

You get the same security without the bulk.
