I’m not even a huge Bond fan but I have recently purchased an Omega Seamaster Spectre having seen many photos of it on the nato strap. But since purchasing it I have always worn it on the bracelet. I’m wondering if it’s because the rep nato is of such poor quality that it’s not very comfortable. I’m just wondering whether it’s worth paying £125 for a genuine Omega nato. It is an awful lot of money for a nato especially to wear on a rep.
There are several SPECTRE reps out there - which one do you have? The NATO on the latest rep (VSF with the "clone" movement) is the best of the bunch. Personally I don't like NATO straps; I find the need to tuck it back under itself, and the fact that there are two layers of fabric under the watch itself, makes it far too bulky, especially with a watch like the SPECTRE that already wears large.
I found a two-piece fabric band with the same 5-stripe pattern and it fits much better than a NATO.
P.S.: Be advised that the pricey Omega NATO band that's sold separately does not have the 007 logo on the keeper.
