Perfect NATO for the speedy?

Post by Danny_T » Mon Dec 14, 2015 6:28 pm

Just received this strap (and a couple others) from Crown and Buckle. Paid $9.50 each during their Black Friday sale.

I say it's a winner even if you bastages don't think so ;)

Looks good, matches well. Not turquoise = All good.


I think the bracelet is killer on this model, so I'd stick with that.

I think it would be perfect if it didn't have the orange stripe. Or the grey stripes. And was made of metal. Put the bracelet back on.

Agreed on the bracelet 100%. I tried the omega mesh on this one and eventually went back to the bracelet. For this one I will go between the bracelet and this new NATO. Am also considering a heuerville rally Blackhawk grey or MoonRock grey with OJ accent stitch

I agree with Chris, I like the nato but the stock bracelet on this watch is amazing

Very matchy-match.

I like their straps. And even though they've gone up a few bucks since the last time I ordered some, I think their leather NATOs are a very sweet deal.

Everything works and looks good. Orange accents on the dial matches the stripes on the NATO.

Thee only thing that is a little off is the hairy wrist.... Otherwise, its a complete winner. ;)

I got a 21mm grey from C&B for the exp2

And will also rock a 22mm orange Isofrane on it as well in the summer.

But right now I love it on the bracelet too much so it's staying that way for now.
