Which looks best?
Sorry for the hideous iPhone flash pics, but which NATO do peeps think looks best on my RLT 24 Hour?
Green:
Or this Bond?
I'm leaning toward the green but it's not great quality. Can anyone recommend a decent NATO stockist. The strap's either too short or the buckles are too far apart so the strap can't be flipped over properly

If you really must have nato straps, I think the Timefactors versions are decent quality.

Hmmmm, seems I'm asking the wrong people
Nothing wrong with a good NATO on a military watch

Re: Which looks best?
I reckon the green is the best of the two although I am definitely not a NATO lover. A chap at one of my business clubs is buying a Trident on NATO so I might have a feel of that and see if I can generate some more positive feeling.

Re: Which looks best?
i like natos in the right place, but i don't think either one really works that well (unless colors are off).
i think this watch could look good on a nato, but not either of those.

Re: Which looks best?
I think the Bond looks slightly better. Maybe a darker green or olive striped would look nicer.
Found something from crown & buckle.. The red in the second hand needs something red on the strap:

Re: Which looks best?
How come every NATO with stripes is now called a Bond NATO?

Re: Which looks best?
I'd say the stripy one, but I think a nice chunky leather Toshi or similar would look the DBs on that watch.
