I know that a lot of (most) watches look silly if worn on a nato strap, but I really like this combination.

Thanks to the fixed bars I haven't got a lot of choice.

I've been too lazy to take new pics, and I thought it would be too boring for everyone to see the old photos again.

:)

I've mainly been wearing the Omega Geneve with the white strap, the squiggle lugs Bulova, and one of my Longines.

OK, I finally took a fresh pic of the squiggle-lugged Bulova 23 today.

Thank you, but "squiggle lug" appears to be a common description for this model of Bulova 23 - I'd seen it a few times on vintage Bulova websites (myBulova and watchophilia) when I was researching Bulova 23 watches.
