asciwhite Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 Seems like nobody sells 21mm nato straps! Will it be possible to buy a 22mm and squeeze it on? Or would that look horrible? Just asking as I have a new found love for watches on nato And I truly think the 3717 would look good on it. A sturdy leather nato yum yum.. (Or nylon)
ubiquitous Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 a 22mm G10 on a 3717 will fit. Personally, I wasn't very fond of the look, but it could just be the color of the strap I used... Black or grey might work better.
asciwhite Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Posted August 10, 2009 Thought about black yes :)Something like this..
ChipSlap Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 I love this forum. I was just searching the net for 21mm NATOs yesterday.
redwatch Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 Thought about black yes :)Something like this.. Man that is a sick looking Speedy!
dbutlerman Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 I actually think that color looks pretty cool! I may have to hunt one down....
dbutlerman Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 Ubi - do you know what color that G10 strap is called? Brown? Olive Brown? Searching the bay...
ubiquitous Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 I think it's called 'Desert Sand'. Hell, I'd just give the strap to you if I still had it...
asciwhite Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Posted August 11, 2009 Here are the straps I ended up buying I also have a big pilot wich I can use the "non" fitting ones on Looks good?
dbutlerman Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 I think it's called 'Desert Sand'. Hell, I'd just give the strap to you if I still had it... I think I found one, similar in color from a shop in Austria...should be here in a couple of weeks...
ck986 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 I really like the desert sand strap. I was going to purchase the black/tan strap, but after seeing those pics the sand colored strap looks better.
asf Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 I put a 20mm 4 ring zulu on my top gun with no problems
z3k0 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 My 3717 on Timefactors 22mm black NATO regards
asciwhite Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Posted August 12, 2009 My 3717 on Timefactors 22mm black NATO *SNIP* regards Tasty!! In my opinion Natos are some of the best looking straps on the planet! EDIT: And comfortable to boot
ubiquitous Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 EDIT: And comfortable to boot This is a true statement.
colorao Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 I love this forum by their marvellous ideas, the pictures& coments of the the people. very nice the nato Desert Sand and black.
eddog Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Wow... I'm Kinda Diggin these IWC's.... what's that... do I feel something weird happening... Oh yeah, that's right.....It's called watchalohism... Cheers eddog
lanikai Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Comfortable and cool in the summer heat !!
ChipSlap Posted August 14, 2009 Report Posted August 14, 2009 I just received a black 22mm NATO in the mail from International Watchman (crazy prices!) It fits my 3717 as if it were made for it.
bblake Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Thought I'd just add this image. I've always worn my 3706 on a Zulu or Nato. (the Nato is a very dark blue). The biggest problem with Nato's is that once you've worn them, anything else doesn't seem as comfortable. I love 'em and they look good as well.
Kronofan Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Black&"White" looks better..imho that is.
