Just the combination with a correct width Nato that actually looks good on the watch. The Bond watch is a classic and would have looked better on a bracelet, but who would have put their Rolex Subs on a Nato but for that shot.

I might just try a bog standard green one on the seiko military chrono I am going to let my son have and have a feel.
Well in my picture the C70IT has the Italian flag colours in the centre of the black NATO. But i am keeping an eye out for a Ferrari red one to try too. The C70BE is the correct colours for Belgium, but the Formula1 colour for Belgium is yellow. I suppose it like the watch it's self. A matter of ones taste. :D

But i do love your new birthday present, lovely 8)
