I don't really post in this section, but thought I'd post a few pics of my latest strap purchase.

I decided to put a nato strap on my B1 a few weeks ago, I personally think it looks better than the original Breitling strap, its certainly a damn sight more comfortable and doesn't catch on things as easily in the cockpit as the metal bracelet.

I realise it won't be to everyones taste, but what's the general consensus? I think it makes it look more like a watch with a purpose, it was always a bit flashy for my liking before.

On a $10 nato.

...and why not indeed, I think that looks spiffing.

When I read the title I thought that there was no way it would work as the B-1 is a serious chunk of metal, but have to say that I am pleasantly surprised and it does indeed look good on a NATO strap. But still IMHO, I would keep it on the bracelet.

No Podie, you won't (bit of positive reinforcement there....)

Besides, it will look all wrong and that.

Honestly I am not a huge fan of Nato's. I do however love the B-1, lovely watch.
