Opinions on this strap with a C65 AM GT?

Post by jkbarnes »

I’m curious to hear people’s opinions on pairing this Haveston NATO with my C65 AM GT. I think all the colors will play off the watch nicely, but I just can’t quite visualize it. Does anyone have the photoshop skills to drop the C65 AM GT into this pic?

Variation on a theme.

Its a Haveston, roughly correct colours but "not necessarily in the right order", fittings are blasted not brushed or polished, and its 20mm (not 22mm).

Hope you get the idea though.

That’s very helpful, thank you! Is that an actual strap that I missed on their site, or did you manipulate the colors to approximate the strap I referenced? Impressive work!

An actual strap, but one of their early ones, now discontinued.

Looks like a proper(?) NATO, not single pass, which I thought all Haveston straps are these days.

Apologies Hawkeye, quite correct it is a (premium) NATO and thinking about it I can't remember where it came from....

I think the strap will work well on the GT.

I think you’re right. I’m getting rather excited about it now, more so than when I first placed the order. It will be a fun alternative to the bracelet or a leather strap.

I’m really pleased with the look of this! I think this strap is a nice compliment to the color scheme of the C65 AM GT LE.

Does look good Andrew. :clap:

My only qualm is that it is not a proper NATO, but a single pass strap. :-k
