Pugwash Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Several people have asked how to install a NATO strap. Here's my how-to for those still struggling: http://pugwash.cat5.org/articles/nato/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I'd like to apologise for the unworked photos, but I really couldn't find the motivation to photoshop 15 instructional pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'd like to apologise for the unworked photos, but I really couldn't find the motivation to photoshop 15 instructional pictures. It is getting to the ridiculous stage when you feel you have to apologise for that Fine work, and it doesn't matter if the pics are a little dark (ahem!! ) Incidentally, to hijack the thread completely, does anyone know if any of our dealers are carrying the CG'less vintage subs these days (Silix used to but are now showing them as 'out of production'), as I've been dying to buy one to wear with a NATO.

Nice Hijack! I've been looking and I've not found any apart from the "Out of stock" ones on Silix Watch. If you find any, let me know. Although, if you do find one, you have to wear it with a crappy 16mm or 18mm NATO just like James Bond. If it looks like it's the right size strap, it's wrong. I presume this was a prop error, but ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the finest Sub pics I've ever taken. Oh, in case no-one's noticed in my sig, but I've got a gallery page up and running finally.

Chronus Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Nice guide... As for the lugless Subs, I remember luckyyy had these, possibly TTK too? Except luckyyy's disappeared as far as I know, and I haven't been keeping with things lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 As for the lugless Subs.... Lugless?! Don't you mean guardless?! Anyway, it's official then - there's a demand for these, so if there are any peeps connected with the factories lurking here, get to it....

Pugwash Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Pug, excellent how-to....but for god's sake....are there seriously people who can't figure out how to mount the head on a NATO strap? I don't want to confirm the number of PMs I get, but the problem is that until you have one in front of you, it looks odd. The how-to isn't for people that have bought one, it's for people who don't get it because they've only ever seen photos of them. If you're on the fence because you're not sure if your watch needs special lugs or if the strap has funny fastenings, this post will demystify the NATO strap for you.
