BGGodwin Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 After doing some research, I think I want to buy a Bond Nato strap for my Submariner. Here's the question: do I get a black and gray strap or the more "authentic" black with maroon and olive stripes? Obviously my Sub isn't the model he wore but it is what it is...

freddy333 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I would stick to the proper bracelet (for your Sub model). The only person I have ever seen pull-off a Sub-on-a-strap was Connery (as Bond). On everyone else (including me, pairing an appropriately too-narrow Naval strap with a Bond Sub), I think it looks a bit silly So I went back to steel, which always commands attention And looks better with any Sub on any wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 For the most part, I must agree with what Freddy's said. The Sub on the Corvus strap is not a good look for anyone other than Connery, so only best reserved for an accurate piece as a Bond Collectable. Black and grey NATO, on the other hand, would be a better complement for a Sub, but even then, it really is a case of 'the time and the place' for wearing one Yes, I have been wearing my THC on a NATO strap lately, but that was primarily because I was having issues re-attaching the bracelet, rather than purely a matter of choice. Having persevered and got the bracelet re-fitted, I'd now only put it on the NATO in extremely hot weather. A watch on a NATO can't really be worn with anything more formal than a T-Shirt, so while great for beach/hot weather wear (and bear in mind they dry slowly ) it wouldn't be the best look to pair with a suit and tie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cht Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm an advocator for a leather nato, that way it doesn't look like a kids watch (black/grey nato), it's comfortable, and you have more opportunities to wear it in different settings. Uploaded with ImageShack.us though I did enjoy the corvus strap on my LV when I had it, though it was a t-shirt/jeans thing only though.

prdubis Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Peter Gunny sells a really nice vintage leather NATO strap, have a look at his site. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
