How about a 2234.50 GMT on NATO?

Post by mrsnak » Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:16 am

Photoshopped this for someone else to see. I think it's a winner. What do you think?

I think it looks good. It may look even better on a gray real bond nato, since that has some red, which would match well with the red GMT hand.

I think it looks aiight snak. Part of my reasoning is thats one of the few Omega bracelets I don't particularily like though :shrug:

Clean photoshop job. :thumbsup:

I think black/grey works well with that watch. SMP is super comfortable on NATOs too, thanks to the flat caseback and thin case.

And I went seeking a GMT with this particular bracelet :lol: Like how comfortable the thickness, heft & rounded edges make it.
This photo makes it look particularly busy because you can see me taking the picture reflected in every piece of the links.

I may try the NATO for a while, but it's been hard not to want the bracelet on...

Not sure I get you :think: -this is the correct coloration for a "real" Bond.
Are you thinking of one of these?

I had that braclet at one time and it was comfy for sure. It was thinnish which I didn't realize until I picked up a newer SMP chrono with the updated bracelt on and it was sweet. PO bracelet rocks too. I think all in all Omega makes the best bracelets.

Hey Pat, I'm with you on this. I ask myself this everyday I think of swapping straps. This was in response to another's request (I haven't actually done this) but thought it would be fun to post it. Lotta people love those NATOs. I had one one a 6309 Seiko and it beat the stock diver rubber hands down. A $620+ Omega bracelet? I'd be thinking that too.

Certainly good for the poor saps who bought theirs on EBay and got a cheap leather band with it. :lol:

On the other side- for a quick change of pace -the NATO is darn cool.

I just see the word "image", which is spelled properly. My employer has blocked this sort of "content". :scream:

I prefer the ''real'' bond natos. Matt.wu - you need one for that 16800. It would kill with that matte dial. :thumbsup:
