How to fit a NATO strap

How to install a NATO Strap on your watch.

First, you need to make sure you have your old strap removed but the springbars in.

Next, you unloop the NATO strap from the loose keeper like so ...

... and feed it through the top springbar ...

... like so.

Continue looping the loose end through the bottom springbars, coming out at the front of the watch.

As you can see, this is now looking like it's installed.

Loop the loose end through the bottom keeper ...

... to bring the whole thing together.

This is now complete. The watch is installed on the strap.

Put the watch on your wrist as you would a normal strap ...

... feeding it through the first top keeper ...

... and then the second.

Then, fold the loose end back upon itself and push it under the top-most bit.

This keeps the loose end nice and secure.

No loose ends.

Wear it well.

Well, looking at these pictures makes me think that it is a very usefull post.

I always wondered how your nato was set on that sub :unsure:

Now I know and if it is a simple instalation in fact, at least everyone know "how to" now.

Thanks for that :lol:

Great pictures as usual of course.

Cheers

How very timely, considering the plethora of Bond Vintage Subs that have just hit the market.... :p

It's a conversion of an HTML document I made a while ago, but people didn't seem to be able to find that, so I forumised it. :D

Just used your guide to sort out my new Nato on my sub. Should have read it first mind you, but got it right except the last bit where you tuck the loose end back under (much neater). Thanks Pugwash :D

Excellent. We should thank Admin that RWG caches the images as my server is down this week.
