A better way to wear a NATO
A better way to wear a NATO
Sorry if covered before, but I don't like to see the strap tuck or have the extra bulk of the completely unnecessary 2nd layer of fabric under the watch, so I just trim that off & fit the strap so the buckle & strap fold is under my wrist as below.
Looks much better & is more comfortable IMHO

There are quite a few who agree with you, some vehemently (Art), but for my wrist with the right watch, I like the full NATO. Trimming the extra fabric makes the NATO "drape" awkwardly on my wrist.
In general, it's seems like the guys with larger wrists prefer neutered.

Cut the extra flap. Cut the excess tail. Cut off the extra piece of hardware. Single pass as minimal as I can get it.

Re: A better way to wear a NATO
If I'm not mistaken, there's a nylon strap that is made like a neutered NATO, and it's called a RAF strap. I bought a few years ago and preferred them for a little while, but like Matt if I'm going to wear a NATO I prefer the full hardware.

It is called a RAF strap. It also has a nylon keeper instead of hardware.

Re: A better way to wear a NATO
The ones I bought from Timefactors (before Toxic!) had metal hardware, and ended up being the same as the ones that guys neuter, but it may not have technically been a RAF.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Wed Aug 29, 2018 7:45 amIt is called a RAF strap. It also has a nylon keeper instead of hardware.
