Subs on NATOs.

[Badda]

Can you show me your Sub’s on NATOs please? Really fancy trying it out on one for a holiday to save the bracelet from pool scratches.

I've had my 5513 on a NATO since I picked it up, far more comfortable than my Sub Date on it's bracelet.

Not a Nato, but similar fabric strap. Very comfortable in summer.

Looks great! Which strap is that?

[MarcelM6]

That's the bad news - wish I could remember where I bought it. It was off a website recommended on this forum, not expensive. On a deployment clasp. I want to buy one for one of my other watches but just can't find the website

Ah shame. Thanks.

Cheap or not it looks good. Thanks for the advice, I’ve gone for a moose strap.

The Trident edition of those with the patina buckles exactly matches what I want as a summer strap, for my Omega.
Can anyone explain how the buckles work? I'm trying to work out and drawing a blank from the pictures...

They really are a comfortable and neat design
It’s effectively like a closed loop, with the clasp returning and clipping into a movable link. As the material is looped and elasticated, the link is infinitely adjustable and doesn’t slip.
Unlike a conventional NATO strap, fitting it does require removal of the spring links on the watch, and there is no unsightly return that has to be trimmed or folded.
I’ve been very impressed with the one I have, and will most certainly be a returning customer.
Hope that helps.

That's basically sold it to me, will need to measure up my wrist size and order one. Thanks!

Zulu on my 16600 SD is my choice strap. Makes it super comfy and I think it looks the dogs!

Not a NATO but I wear mine on a Hirsch Pure rubber strap.
