Nato Strap For Black Sub
- Thread starter mickeypro
- Start date
Seen some subs with leather, but I never liked them. Problem you'll run into with leather is that you'll have a pretty noticable gap between the band and the case. You avoid that with a Nato. Word of caution about Nato, though. Make sure to get a good, comfortable strap. From what I've heard, they can either be very comfortable or very uncomfortable. If you look around, there was a thread on this topic about a month ago. Pug can give you some good info on where to purchase a comfy Nato strap.
Indeed, and I think I'll get a black 22mm for my PO and a green 20mm for my LV.piratedzeus said:http://timefactors.co.uk/nato.htm

If you are in the US/Canada...you can buy from this guy..

He gets his straps from the same people as Eddie at Timefactors, I think they are partners, so-to-speak, as they advertise each others site.
My bond strap from him should arrive today, based on Pug's advice.
EDIT** After getting the Bond from WCT I see that it is not the same as Pug has from Timefactors. Apparently they sell alot of the 20mm Bond so the stock has varied. I emailed the seller and he insists that his material is the same or higher quality and the hardware is better. Offered a full refund if I want to try Timefactor's. This being my first NATO I have no idea, other than this seller is a highly respected WIS so I will take his word for it.....

Do you know if the nylon Bond strap has the name Bond on it? I just put in an order for a black Nato for the SD and may get the Bond also...would like to see your strap when it comes in..

Thanks pugwash. I'll just stick with ordering the black strap for the SD. Those straps on your Subs look real nice and sporty.
I saw a post either here or on RWG a few weeks ago about a really cool Nato strap for the Omeeega Moonwatch. It's a nato strap with velcro and the nametag of one of the original Apollo astronauts. Very, very cool.
Leather
I got both but I prefer leather on a daily basis. That's just me.
Whichever choice you make, it'll look good, imho.

Very nice sennsi. I guess one advantage to nylon is that it supposedly will not rot from water, not that anyone is actually going diving with their rep on. The leather does look nice, I better get both.
Is that a black case? Or is it just the light? I've seen a few of those completely blacked out Subs, and I do dig 'em.
Read a weird story about the gen counterparts. Apparently, Rolex doesn't make the blacked out subs themselves, but I believe they've authorized some company to do it and sell them. So they do make real blacked out Subs. You just can't buy them from Rolex. This is just what I read, so I'm not sure if it's accurate. Take it with a grain of salt.
