C11Vintage w/NATO suggestions
Hello Forum,
I have a beautiful C11 MSL vintage and I'm looking to accessorize it with a new NATO strap. Until I purchased the C11, I'd never even heard of a NATO strap. Any suggestions on which color(s) might look good matched up with the tan numerals of the vintage? Any thoughts or pics would be greatly appreciated.

Re: C11Vintage w/NATO suggestions
Hey Chad hope you're cool...
Without stating the obvious here - what about a tan NATO to start with and maybe a sand colour too ?
The pricing is very good so in no time at all you could have a small colour selection ?
Cheers

I like the thought of sand colored. I'm just unable to visualize any other color than something that matches the leather strap. I guess I need to stick to the same colors that are on the dial.reggie747 wrote:

Agreed! Definitely like the one you pointed out.
Thanks guys!

Yeah, that's what I was getting at, exactly...I guess I need to stick to the same colors that are on the dial.

Beautiful watch - I'd go with a beige / tan / sand color. Would make the watch awesome! Check cheapestnatostraps.com for an affordable option

I don't like 1 but 2 and 3 are good.

Looks far better on the original to me but I'm not a NATO fan

Re: C11Vintage w/NATO suggestions
I know no.1 doesn't match, I just love that strap-it will go on another watch at some point. No.
3 is my favorite of the NATO's. Although, I'm not entirely sold on NATO straps, I'm preparing for summer in the South, and don't want to ruin the original leather strap by sweating through it. Thanks for all the input.
