Bonetto Cinturini NATO

Post by Harrym71 » Thu Feb 04, 2016 7:50 pm

Just got my new NATO delivered and the second I opened the plastic bag I got a whiff of vanilla... awesome.
Now, as much as I like the smell I like the smell of my Glenmorangie 18yr old single malt better.
I think this strap will look good on my 009 and hopefully on my new watch coming soon.

Been eyeing these for years. Nice pick up. How's the wear compared to rubber straps and nylon natos

A rubber NATO is the answer to a question no one asked.

same here.

the rubber Nato might be worth it if it is one layer of rubber then it would be worth trying. two layers would make it too tall.

I don't really wear rubber anything so I cannot compare it to other straps.
So far it's been on the wrist for 3 hours and it's very comfortable.
It does not sit very high on the wrist. To me it looks like the second strap looks thinner than the main strap. If I had calipers I'd measure them to be sure, but I don't, so I can't.
Me likey so far, just wish I could find a 20mm version and in different colours.

Quick and dirty pics at work.

Can you see if it's possible to cut the extra flap off clean without sacrificing its construction?
Thanks.

Not with these straps as it has a hinged keeper that the second strap attaches too.
I think they make a one piece strap.

I see thanks for the pic, so you have to double-rubber it :)

No more choosing between rubber straps or NATO's. What a time to be alive.
