Stevie Wonder says he likes what you did with that Aerospace
I have tried, honestly, but... I just hate them.
I'll get my coat...

I like NATO on most sport watches, have one currently on EXP2 and GMT 2. I did try one on my DSSD. Not a good look.

Love that Seiko Bell Matic. Is it a grey dial and what is the reference number/age?
Cheers

For me summer is almost always Perlon time.
Infinite fit adjustment, tail size adjustment, quick drying and no extra bits of ironwork to catch things on, I find that unless they are too thin for the watch (which happens) I prefer them over NATOs.
Doesn't stop me having a load of NATOs though......

Where is the place to buy decent quality NATO's? The last one i bought for my old CWC G10 fell to pieces pretty quickly but the one that came with my sub feels like it'll last forever.
That Zenith is sweet. Nice collection.

That looks surprisingly good👍Quote:

Often look good in pictures but in reality they make the watch sit too high on the wrist, they are fiddly to fasten and unfasten (with the extra bit to tuck in), and for me they are either too tight or too loose which combined with the extra height makes the watch flop around.
Much prefer perlon.
I thought EXACTLY that!Quote:

Perlon fine but it's a much softer dressy look. Bit flouncy on a sub.....Quote:

But, I didn't give up and at some point it changed and now I am really fond of them.
Do you have to persist or really make an effort to really like them? Not really but eventually you will be glad you did.
Not for me, I think it's fine on a vintage sub, but probably not one of the thicker new ones.Quote:

Thanks, I didn't think it would get much love to be honest. I have a similar one in dark navy blue.Quote:

You're absolutely right, it's all about the details. Although with this one, I'm not sure gold ironmongery would be quite enough to save it!Quote:

Hmm too bright imho - takes the eyes off the watch which should be the star of the show. The first one was subdued - letting the watch shineQuote:
